Hi Guys, The Super hawk is finished and everything was going fine until I tried to start it, I have the nicest idle it just purrs. When I give the throttle a twist it dies, like it's not getting any fuel. I can get it to rev with the choke halfway open, as soon as you take it off it idles fine. I put the needles on the last position and checked the main jets. It will idle perfectly until you give it gas, Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

carb problems
Re: carb problemsAre the slides in the correct carb and not reversed?
The flat bottom side goes toward the engine. Jets should be 135 and 42. Needle clip in the next to bottom.. ...................lm
OK,
So here's what happened. I could not figure out why it was not getting gas when you turned the throttle, so I had tubes running from the spigots on the head and I ran them to terminate under the bike. I really didn't know what they were for or where they were supposed to go, I plugged them off and the bikes revs. Can you tell me where they are supposed to go? I have all the restoration guides from this forum but nowhere in them do they explain it. I have a dream that has them and I know I have not plugged them off on it and it runs fine, even on my cb160 I ran that tube back and under the bike. Well I guess I shouldn't complain, I'll tie the two together and ride it for a while. Stan
There are two small pipes that run from the rear base of each cylinder I assume they are crankcase breathers? On mine they go to a Y piece and thence to the right aircleaner. On the bottom of each carb float chamber there are small spigots that look like they need pipes - (missing on mine) but I guess they are overflow/vents for the float chambers. One would suppose they might go to the other aircleaner? Anybody?

Crankcase breather is on top of the head, single large hose. Carb bowls didn't get any hoses from the factory. HT
