First thing that comes to mind is an airleak at a gasket or vacuum line, followed by a missed electrical connection somewhere. The lean condition suggests the former.

If it has a cable throttle there will be an idle screw, use it to increase the idle speed or, if electronic throttle, have your friend hold it on the throttle while you squirt around the gasket areas and throttle body with some engine start or brake cleaner. If there's a change in idle speed it'll indicate it's sucking in air where you squirted and the spray was drawn in and burned in the engine. NOTE, whatever you use, it has to be reasonably flammable to give the rpm change as it's burned, so take care.
