hey guys I'm a new honda owner and I have been looking through the threads.. cant seem to find the answer to my problems. So i bought a choppered 73 sohc 836 w/ a kenny harmon d grind cam, coils are new, points ignition are new and gapped/timed properly... carbs have been cleaned multiple times (in the process of trying to tune this thing messing with needle positions and main jets/ floats i have had these carbs off atleast 17 times) lol. im not sure what the exhaust on it is but its like a crossover 4 into 4 where cyl 3 crosses over 4 and 2 crosses over 1. super short and loud. i have pod filters as well.
the issue im having is at around 6-7k rpms (not sure because of tach) my bike will not accept anymore throttle. it's like it just wants to lean pop and stutter out of the exhaust until i bring it back down a bit. my max speed on the highway is about 85 mph. my problem is it does this in EVERY gear... if it was just 5th id be cool with it because i dont care about riding 90 mph on a hardtail anyways. ive maintenanced my advancer it works properly and fires at the correct advancement mark.. ive adjusted needle jets ive went from a 125-150 main. i have done spark plug readings and all of them have a tan chocolate color.. hondaman mentioned drilling out emulsifier tube holes on another thread i was considering but before i do that does anybody else have any ideas? charging system is seems fine, battery hasn't gone dead on me and ive ridden it quite a bit since i've had it. i've tried rerouting the fuel lines. if anybody has any ideas i would greatly appreciate you input.. thank you! starting to get desperate here as i have spent the last 6 weekends messing with this thing.
