well my '76 i purchased,hasn't run since '98, nice 24k bike,
last known-

All brk parts off being rebuilt..

NOW the carb,
purchased a manifold and holley from Sunnbob,
carb needs rebuilt,manifold freshly power coated,
what the heck,stole battery from the ltd,bolted up the
the new to me stuff,hit the button and it runs,some cable
idle screw adjmnt,funky idle,,, OH NEED TO ADVANCE TIMING,
geez,this thing is responsive,seems to idle well(maybe a little high)
(goofy,lazy tach)not sure of rpms..

May have been,don't remember,that makes it really good deal,bolt on and go..
Had to mod the cable brkt a touch to clear frame gusset.
This morning before work,no choke,2 twists,fired and almost idles perfectly ,,no choke
and guessin' at timing..
By the way,,Sunnbob

Hi I too am running this same set up.." bought it used on e-bay" I'm not having ANY luck, it starts "only fully choked" idles great, stumbles when revved, "with choke on" after warm up, as soon as I attempt to open choke it dies.. I cant see any gas squirting from accelerator pump ? cleaned carb and put a rebuild kit. in "new accelerator pump" set floats , measured ,and set accel. pump rod, still same prob. any suggestions.?? OH my carb is mounted completely back wards from yours? could this be the prob. and I see you have the vacume line plugged? should I do this ? all so did you plug the original "vent" hoses that went to the orig. air box?? HELP !!! thanks man. UPDATE ..... weather was warmer this weekend, got the bike out, fired it up and rode it with choke" closed" when RPM's got to abot 3500 it started to "pop" and backfife a bit...opend choke and it took off like a rocket, ran great, when I came to a stop, it started to die...closed choke and it idled good ???
