You say it is a 1978 but it has adjustable needle with grooves and a clip?

What position is the clip.?

I am thinking maybe it is 1977.
Very interesting!! Maybe THIS is the cure for the 1978. 1977 needles.

I just looked up the 1977 CB750K on Bike Bandit OEM parts breakdown and it only shows a needle with one clip position (non adjustable needle).
Maybe someone had this almost figured out except for the idle jet.

Wow This sounds like a breakthrough.

I am really excited to hear back from you about this needle with adjustable clip.
I would like to see a photo if at all possible.

The 1976 DOES have a adjustable needle.
Maybe what you have is a 1976 needle in a 1978 carb slide.
