Good Morning y'all, I've been reading up alot of other post that I could come up with on a google search, but I would like to see any advice on my specific setup.
So I have a '73 cb750 with a 4 to 1 exhaust and velocity stack (plan on getting pod filters). No other mechanical mods on her. As for the issues I am having, the bike start up fine and idles without any problems. As soon as I take off the response from throttle can be a bit sluggish and sometimes "lurches", this is only experienced at low rpm/low throttle. The second issue with throttle is at higher speeds, when I open her up (usually after 1/2+ throttle) to gain speed it would sound as if the clutch is pressed in (sounds louder without moving any quicker).
From my understanding, the fundamental issue is that it is running lean. I will be taking the carbs out to inspect and most likely clean it out, but I'm not sure what jet sizes should be on it with the current exhaust and air filter (or lack there of with the stacks).
Are there any steps I can take to really pin point the issue? Should I just do a plug chop or are there other things to help out with trouble shooting? What jet sizes should I order for a 4-1 exhaust and velocity stack/4-1 and pod filters?
I would greatly appreciate any and all information/tips/guidance!
p.s. Any recommendation for a reliable shop in NoVA would be awesome.
