What would be approximate correct jetting for 1967 CL77 with straight pipes (no baffles) Altitude is 700ft around here.

Probably be fine with stock jetting, but see what the plugs have to say. One size larger may be needed.

Back about 1994 I was breaking in a CB77 and a CL77 after a complete bike/engine rebuild.
The CB77 was easy to start and warm up then ride.
The CL77 would snap and pop until hot then ran OK.
I considered the actual difference between the two bikes and engines and felt the only actual difference is the exhaust.
So I jet the CL77 carbs same as the CB77 carbs.
Problem solved and to this day I jet the CL77 same as the CB77. ....................lm

Apologies for hijacking this thread but rather than starting another similar;
I have a CL72, when the carbs were stripped I found #130 Main jets and #42 Slow jet, the Honda manual I have says #125-130 Main, #40 Slow, I have seen in the Bill Silver book different sizes again.
To complicate matters further the pistons/cylinders were +3mm giving an engine capacity of 276cc, maybe that was the reason for a difference, it is now back to std bore size, any thoughts advice welcome.
