Hi everyone, I recently bought an 82 cb750k and have been trying to get it running.  I just cleaned the carbs (only thing I've done so far) and now it runs and idles pretty well.  When I give it throttle, though (~2000 rpm) it starts popping and backfiring a little bit.  I thought that since it idles fine, it could be an electrical issue (maybe when the alternator kicks in, it starts missing?) Any other thoughts?  I know there's a bunch of other tune-up stuff I need to do, which might fix it, but anything to point me in the right direction would be great.
