I just found this forum today and it seems to have some more knowledgeable people and less know it alls than some other sites.
Here's my issue. I decided to put K&N pods on my '76 CB750K. It has an aftermarket 4-2 exhaust but isn't a race setup. As best I can remember the jets are stock right now and the engine is stock other than ignition set up. I removed the air box and put the pods on and went for a test ride.
At idle and light acceleration it seems the same but once you get just past the light acceleration it starts to bog and wide open isn't much better. Now I've learned that the Keihin carbs don't do the best with pods.
Should I start by raising the needle or increasing jet size?
I really like the look of the pods vs the stock box. Later I plan on rebuilding the engine and possibly going with the 836cc kit. If I do that I'll probably put different carbs on.

If the best option is to change to a direct slide carb, what should I go with? I'd rather get something used and rebuild it.
Thanks
