Hey Guys,
     I finally finished putting together my winter project, 1978 Honda cb750 K . I can't describe how attached to this bike i've gotten from restoring the entire thing. I can't see myself getting rid of this thing. Anyway, I put all new fluids in this past weekend and tried firing her up but i'm having some problems. If I give it a few twists of the throttle so the Accel Pump sprays some gas in, it will start for a few seconds and then die. The battery is in good shape and fully charged and I Have static timed it very well. I did clean the carbs pretty well but that was a few months ago. I put all new jets and everything in .  I'm just wondering if anyone has had similar issues?

     They are the stock keyhole top carbs and I currently have the stock air-box and stock 4-4 pipes. I put in the 35 and 110 jets. Any help/tips would be a big help on this because although the bike looks amazing, I want to take this thing out for a rip. Thank you all for your help. Take care .
