That said ya can roll the throttle smoothly to wide open and as ya do ya can/will feel the engine gain RPM and feel the power.
I'd say that if ya install the 135 and 42 and use the CB77 needle with the clip at 2 from the bottom then adjust from there ya MAY have a good runnimg engine. ..........lm

Imagine first that the bike is idling in the garage. If I slowly crack the trottle it jumps up in RPM happily and very quickly. If I snap on full throttle quickly, it sputters and even chokes to death. I got this with every single jet I've tried (110, 120, 125, 130, 140, 145). Yesterday I rode on the 145 main and it was best it's been. Whenever I hit a hill and eased it into WOT the bike would be very unresponsive to the change, as if I had left the trottl only 1/2-3/4 open. At the crest of the hill, where I'd close it a bit, the bike would lunge forward again with more power and sort of "skip" like you hear a 2-stroke do.
Since the best change was up to the 145 I figured progression was the best change, obviously wrong!
The engine has Wiseco pistons (stock size), no filter, stock intake hoses, stock pipes with no baffles, stock carbs (with the exception of the ClassicHondaRestorations.com needles which I'll replace with the original ones again).
I'll read through Vince's thread today and see what's in there! Thanks!
