Ok, little help.... Looking for a good starting point with these carbs.

I'm running a 4to1 with filter pods
77 cb750k
Main 115
Pilot 35
Needle middle clip

Where should I start

Up your main jets from the current 115's to minimum 125. I installed 130's in an F2 with a pod filter setup, and it was running just a tad rich I thought, but the engine was a bit tired too. That'll get the engine running well enough to start and ride, but you may need to fine tune further to suit your pipe. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

FWIW, I'm not a shill for Race Tech - I've just got a thing for good suspension and the RTCE's are the most cost-effective mod for these old damping rod front ends.

That thing looks #$%*in! Just don't turn right or you will scrape the header  :o  Seriously, do you think there is going to be any clearance issues there? Its always hard to tell from the pictures.

Sexay. :)

I am really looking forward to seeing this one all painted up and put together.

I'm especially interested in seeing the headstock/backbone area that's opened up by the side profile of that tank.
