Bike is a 74 CB550. I know the floats are out of adjustment, and that should be an easy enough fix, but I'd like to attack all issues in one go.
The bike won't pull past 5K or so. Should redline around 10. This makes hills at speed an issue. It feels like it's getting too much fuel. Crank the throttle open and it falls on its face. Back off just enough and it goes.
When I got it, it was a complete wreck. Had been sitting god only knows how many years, carbs & tank were a mess. Cleaned the carbs, cleaned the tank, and got it running.
A few of the float pins are finish nails (don't ask me, I got it like that), which could be part of the float problem, but from what I understand the floats are unlikely to be related to the bike not pulling up in the revs.
Also won't run choke on, or choke off, depending which position is which. Didn't think to note which was which when the carbs were off.
Any input on what to look at next time the carbs come off is appreciated.
