Hey guys! I've got a 1975 CB500T, it's been a long project getting her going and I'm so close! But... the right carburetor has been giving me trouble when I give it gas. At first I thought it could be the timing or valves so I put the left carb on the right side, but it worked perfectly, revved smooth up and down. When I give just the right carb gas with my hand it will rev up but sputters and groans at about 6000. If I try to keep it around 3000 it will just go completely quiet. I've taken the damn thing apart about 10 times now and I just have no clue what it could be.
Is it possible that that particular carb body is not seating well on that boot?
I took it for a hard ride around the block, it will ride fine, but I can hear the right side popping and being a shithead, and when I got back I noticed a sort of sweat on the carb next to the boot. Any ideas?
