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

Re: jetting for straight pipes?
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.
