Go to FAQ on the left then to "How I Tune" and follow that. ..lm

i did all the steps from the ''how to tune'' but my cb wont run correctly.
it wont accelerate past 6000 rpm, i cant give it full throttle, when i go too far it sounds like its drowning. also its popping from the left cylinder.

could it be a carb issue, or do i need to replace the old condenser with a new one or something like that?

all help is welcome!
