While riding my '76 several weeks ago, I noticed when I let off the throttle between shifts it seemed like a near total loss of power was occurring. At one point, it died a split second before I released the clutch and fired up when the gear engaged. When I got to the stop light and pulled the clutch, it went dead and almost didn't start again. I finally got it started and it's been running rough ever since. By rough I mean, I'll start it and it runs fine for about 10-12 seconds and then idles down and dies. I've adjusted the idle screw and got it to stay running and after a few seconds it'll idle up to 3k-4k RPMs. Adjust the set screw down, it idles down and dies. I've drained the tank, changed the fuel filter, and added ethanol free gas. To boot, in all my tinkering it seems like the fuel dissipates way faster than it should, and it seemed like I was getting poor fuel mileage before all this started. Some history on the bike, the guy I bought it from supposedly had the carbs. rebuilt but not synced. I synced the carbs. about two weeks before this issue started. Any help will be much appreciated!</p></blockquote><p></p>
