I just bought my first 750four, a 76 model. This was also my first bike. After leaving the previous owner's with my new wheels I filled the fuel tank with regular gas and everything was fine. The next day after about 25 minutes of riding, and at about 50 mph, the engine began to sputter and miss and I had no power. When I came to a stop I could barely keep it running long enough to get off the road. After ten minutes it was fine, but would act up every couple miles, dieing out completely. After calling the previous owner he informed me that the bike would not run on regular octane. I drained it, filled it with 94 octane and have had no issues since. Could this be your issue as well?
