Her is the situation. Bought used 88. Popped, sputtered and sometimes stalled at low rpm's but pulled like a horse after 2k rpm. Did the "shotgun" method. Engine seemed to loose throttle response and was just blah afterwards. Not quite a miss but almost as though a dead cylinder. Pulled carbs. Rebuilt all new parts, jets, gaskets, air valves, boots, replaced 1 complete slide (damaged), new diaphragms on others, etc. Reinstall carbs and sync. (They were way out). New battery, good spark at the plugs (have not tested the coils), compression good,Starts right up and idles great now. Bike still feels like a dog with no throttle response. Could I have done something in the air box area to cause this. I hope someone can help me as I have run out of ideas.
