who rejetted your carbs?
what size jets did they use?
what brand did they use?
have you looked inside your carbs, or did you take their word it was completed correctly?

He doesn't know answers to any of your questions. He keeps changing his handle, which is childish and confusing to those trying to help. If he has built as many cars as he has claimed he wouldn't be asking a lot of these questions. Carbs are carbs. Running with choke on is an indicator of poorly tuned carbs. Get a manual and fix it.

Dude I have two kids and a wife and I hardly have any time and certainly cant hang out in this forum all day NOR can i, at the drop of a hat, call up the guy who built the bike, and ask him a zillion questions about what jets he used, etc. I'll see him at some point but obviously i dont know what kind of jets, etc, because I didnt do the work.

I appreciate the help from ppl in the forum.
Thanks!
I too am married, work 60 hours a week, have 4 kids, and MAKE time to work and ride my CB.  When I come here, I DO what people tell me I should do in response to the questions I ask because I want to learn from the good people here.
If you dont want to DO what people suggest, because we've been there before, dont waste the forums time with your questions.

If you took a moment to learn a little about your bike, we could easily get you going in the right direction.
35/70 is the jetting, with 1+/- turn out of the mixture screw.
if you have anything less than 38/80's with pods, youre going to be lean(white plugs, too) and NEED choke for the bike to run half-way decent
