Hi Guys, I've got a 72 CB450 that I recently purchased non-running. I've replaced the points, set the timing per the manual (which i did without a timing light since I can't get it to stay running long enough to use one), taken apart the carbs, cleaned and put back together and I can now get the bike to start. Actually sounds fairly good, but I can't keep it running. It'll run for a few minutes if I hold the throttle slightly open, then after a bit it dies and won't restart. I have tried to dial in the idle to keep it running, but have had no luck.
So I guess what I was looking for is a carb primer of sorts that would show me where to start when trying to tune a carb. I have read the Carb Theory 101 posted here and understand the gist, just not where I should start to try to find and eliminate the problem.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys
