Hey DB, welcome, even if your bike has an extra cam. ;D Is it a 750? How did you manage the manifolds?

The choke he showed is probably off a Keihin HD carb. Now if you machined a few grooves in the shaft, and screwed a cartridge in the threaded hole with a ball detent inside..... You would have a very nice choke. .loks good on the DOHC.. The manifold looks fabricated from tubing and plate .

754 nailed it. CNC'd a steel plate then bent the tubing and welded it all together. And yep, that's the choke off my Keihins. The choke works great. Surprised you didn't call out the 3D printed throttle cable splitter box 754.

She's not yet. I have to order new jets. They are too big. I'll be working on it again Memorial weekend.

I'm using some Uni filters; IIRC, they were 6" long with an ID of 2 1/4"? I had to trim the length quit a bit, as well as the springs that fit inside. They fit over the stacks, and are held in place with cable ties. They aren't pretty, but do a decent job of passing air while stopping a good bit of grit from entering the engine. ;)

 On the Amen project, I might run the RC manifold cuz they are straight, then run big honking K+N straight long  filters, to get a bit of the look of the TZ flattacker.
 Looks like 90 mm centers, should fit 3.25 inch filters.

HI

I finally had time to put filters on my Webers, it runs nice until about 60 to 70%  open / WOT, and then its starts sputtering and hesitates on acceleration, and i guess its because of the limitation of air the filters makes - so IM I Right, if I change the Air correction jets to lets say 165 or so ? or do I have to change more ?

the bike ran super nice before i put the ITG sockfilters on


I have following parts inside:
Start jet 150 / 85-F9
Idle jet: 45 F9
Emulsion tube: F9
Main jet: 105
Air correction jet: 185
Accelerator pump jet:  35
Intake and discharge valve for accelerator circuit : 50
Needle valve 1,75
Float height approx 11 to 12 mm
AUX venturi : 4,5
Chokes 28 mm

Thanks

Razz, is it running very rich? Spark plugs sooty? Smaller air correction jets will make it even richer. Even with 125 mains, instead of the 105s I'm running now, my bike was never so rich that it sputtered or hesitated.

my .02 - there isn't enough air gap inside the filter between the bell mouth & inner filter face, effectively chocking it as rpm's & air demand increase.  Biggest issue will be #'s 1 & 4 because of the down tubes.

I ran stacks on my Lotus that had a 15* bend so the filter would clear the fender.  Wonder if something like that would solve the down tube clearance issue, and allow for proper filtering.  Properly fitted that ITG filter should support more than HP than a CB750 can make.

I suspect that there is no internal support inside the filters, and they are being sucked up against the ends of the stacks, choking it as rpm's and air demand increase. ;)

Hi

The socks is a quite good quality with good support so i dont Think they her socked in.. scotty - do you Think i schuld try a 100 main jet instead ? - by changing the air corrector jet  ( to larger / more air size 165) by justadding more air to same amount of gas or Im wrong here ?

And yes its runs a little sudy - but my theory is, it dosent get enough air to burn all the gas - due the new filters in High rpms  sorry for the unfocused Picture

Couple of questions - it was running fine before the filters...was that OK fine, or Great fine??  How was roll-on from 1/4 throttle (transition from idle jet to main)??
I'm wondering if it was always a bit rich (main jet), and the filters just compounded it.

Yes, try the 100 mains, and keep the current 185 air jets for now. You may need to install new spark plugs, or at least burn the black off the old plugs with a propane torch. And make sure the cold-start valves are fully closed.

Hi I now have the 100 mains in, it is much better, but still a little hesitation the last 5 to 8 % to WOT - schuld i now change mains to 95 or change air correcter jet size ?

Thnx

i would go air correctors now ,  maybe a 190 at first. although that may bring the mains down a bit to being lean in mid range , so if it feels slower in the mid try the 105 again with the 190 airs.
just do it .

The air correctors have much less effect for a given size change than the main jets; a 100 main with a 200 air will probably be richer than a 95 main with a 185 air, for example.
Razz, what is the RPM when you feel the hesitation?
