:: Update ::

    Heya Yinz, woulda posted sooner but was away from the phone and computer most of the weekend. Heres the good news. After swapping the condensers off my buddys 75 CB750 and putting them onto mine, solved!!!

     Shes running like a brand new bike, I couldn't believe it, doesn't sound anything like she did. I'll put a viddy up later so you can hear it.

     Here is a important note. Remember how it ran better with lights on? That is a good point in if the condensors are bad or not, it was taking some of the load off of em and thats why it ran better!. Me and my buddy are both feeling a little dumb for not doing that first! Lol.

      I rode her to work today, effin cold but a beautiful ride, and it feels soooo good to be back on 2 wheels!

    Thanks for all the help and input on this, I really app it!

Easy and cheap fixes are always good news. Of course if it were a condensor, only two cyls would've been affected either 1&4 or 2&3, I don't know if that was ever mentioned. Would've helped us diagnose this a bit sooner.

BTW "yinz" is that yiddish or spell correct gone wonky?

Yinz,

    I am from Wheeling Wv which is a hour outside of Pittsburgh Pa, I have a very strange dialect which kinda throws alot of slang terms around. Talking to me is like talking to Alex from a Clock Work Orange, lol.
Heres a few definitions for yinz.

Sorry, I have to brag.  The first response to your post and I nailed it.  Sorry about bragging, but it seems that often times, the first thing to be checked is overlooked.

Glad you got it fixed! Even though it was just a condenser it's still good you went through the carbs and now it runs even better
