@mylifesucks327Ай бұрын
Bad gas, vacuum leaks, fuel pump being bad, unfortunately there can be a lot wrong and with these small motors, the small issues can be enough for it to run rough. I’d check all your hoses, maybe new spark plug, make sure good gas is in it, drain any old gas if it’s been sitting a long time.

I have two CB750s ( 1979, and 81). Both have Pods. The 81 has stock pipes still beautiful. My 79, I put a Delkavic Header to replace its rotting pipes. Be alert when using Pods that they are not blocking the vacuum intake port of the piston, or the air duck. - The Cone Like Pods I had to modify to account for this. On my 81, I accounted for this. She still has Torque at 90 mph The other has 4 dirt bike Pods that do not block the vacuum intake ports - Also Be Alert to subgrade look a likes for the Rubber Collars for connecting between the Carbs and Heads. They have no strength and will rip if having to support the weight of the carbs when the airbox is absent. I was glad to have OEM backups

How many inches lower is the car intake? Does it have much of a change in the torque curve does it do? I'm putting a L92 into a jet boat and want the engine cover as small as possible . . .
@mylifesucks3273 ай бұрын
I believe the car intake is right around 5 inches shorter. But I can’t confirm that for sure as I’ve only read that, never measured myself. You’d have to dig a bit into forums to double check on that, unfortunately. But I can tell you that if I had a truck intake I’m not so sure it would even clear. As far as torque curve goes, that’d be having to compare some kinda dyno sheet. But a usually the idea is the truck Intake will make the torque sooner and have less high end. Car intake will be the opposite. Could make the same torque but will be at a higher rpm.
