So I installed the Mikuni VM34 from Murray's Carbs on my 1978 CX500
We cleaned out the gas tank and sealed it
Added new Honda NOS petcock (but the outlet fuel line is smaller than the Mikuni's)
New fuel lines and fuel filters (should I use 1/4, 5/16, 3/8? seems like these VM34s gulps)
New 2-1 quick throttle cables ran on top of frame spine under gas tank like recommended
If I throttle too fast the bike dies out.
After it warms up and I shift into 1st, the bike also dies if I don't give it a little throttle first.
These carbs are said to be pre tuned and jetted specifically for the CX500 w/o air box.
Any thoughts?
