Hello all, I started a thread already and am now unable to find it..
I have the bike in the title. Idles great, when in neutral and rev'd it'll hit 6k-ish and bog down. I let off, the rev's fall, and it catches itself and stays running. Under load you can only twist ~1/4 throttle before it sputters, hittin a max of like 20mph. You can shift up and keep going, but again, no more than ~1/4 throttle or else it sputters like mad.
Carb has been totally gone through and is clean and working great, oil pump working fine, tank and pepcock were taken off/apart and cleaned, everything looks good. New plug, new air filter, new plug wire.
Fairly mechanically inclined, but at a loss here..
I've visited these boards many times before, have just now registered to recruit some help.
Thanks in advance for any and all help guys, hope to hear some good news. lol

Edit: Cleaned all the gunk and grime off of the gvw tag, manufacture date is 3/75, so I believe it is a 1976 model.
