Ok, so when I start it up, the header is warm, just not hot like the right side. By the time it comes out the back, it’s cool. Trying to ride, it jerks like I don’t know how to smoothly let out the clutch. I pulled the left carb and went through it again just to see if that would do anything...

It’s not running on the left at all. I completely cut power to the left plug and nothing changes. I pull the right with the left plugged in and it dies. I DID finally do a compression test tonight on the cold engine. It took a whole hell of a lot of kicking but both sides sit at a little over...

Definitely wet plugs, so I know it’s getting fuel. I adjusted the valves because that’s something I have the tools for, I’ve gotta borrow the gauge for compression. Wouldn’t it have read off anyways because the valves were slightly more open than they should be?

Still haven’t been able to run a compression test but I’m definitely getting fuel to both carbs and also all over my engine. I tore my tank crossover line with my valves open and dumped about half a tank of gas on the engine so I had to replace that. Valves were just a tiny bit off, but now...

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll give it a shot. I did clean out the petcock when I did the carbs too, so I know that’s not clogged. Unfortunately, the side pipes make it a little tricky to get in there in the left side but I’ll probably start with that before I do the compression test.

Brief history here: Oversized, pistons and new valves went into the engine a few years back. Everything was running well and then sat for almost a year without fuel in the tank. Filled it up, and did some light riding. All was good for a while (20ish minutes). Then it got a little choppy and i'd...

Right, I came across this, https://intellitronix.com/products/digital-gauges/individual-gauges/led-bargraph-tach-speedo-combo, but wrong type of vehicle :/

I'm looking to dump my standard CL350 gauges for a single, hopefully, small gauge. I don't have a problem with digital and/or analog combos. I know Acewell makes a few, but I'm looking to see what people have used, how they like them, etc. I'd love to see some installed too. Price IS an object...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look there next.

Yeah, I can redline if I want in any other gear. As far as I know, its stock gearing. It was pretty complete when I got it, so I have no reason to believe it was changed

Every other gear and the bike runs as expected. 5th gear, 6000 rpm, full open throttle, roughly 70-75 mph and it just doesn't climb past it Some background. Carbs are clean and floats are set, running k&n pods, plugs are good - good color good spark. Valves are adjusted. They were replaced...

I'm looking for a good, affordable speedo tach gauge suggestion. I'd like something all in one to help make the bike look a little cleaner. I've seen these https://www.ebay.com/itm/171837204331 range in price. Anyone have experiences with these? Are there better options? Thanks for the...

Hillsy, I never knew that about CB twins. I'm sure my battery is a little low because all I've been doing is starting and idling with some revving in there. I run one of the 8 cell antigravity batteries (I think it's 8cell anyways off the top of my head. It's a medium one that has more than...

Kinda feel like these might have a bit to do with the low exhaust pressure on my top pipe. . This one I could feel but until I took it off I didn't realize it was this big. This one, didn't even realize it was there! So I patched those two holes and we'll see if that does anything for me...

Yep, no ports on the 350 carbs. at least the twins. Some people drill them into the boot that connects them to the engine. I worry enough about leaks, let alone adding another hole. and yep, if there's an opening, i put air to it. I'll try to grab a new baseline and see if i can figure...
