    It is carbed stock cv carb. I rebuilt it last year, should be properly jetted, as I replaced the jets when I rebuilt it. It has 180 main and 45 slow jet. It also has ac and cycle shack slip ons.

    Another thought is maybe the ethanol in the gas. For a cheap try put some star tron in your tank and run a tankful thru? Has your bike been sitting for a while prior to the problem.

    If the present jetting hasn't been a problem up till now maybe a leak in your manifold?

    I already use startron, have for years. I thought maybe it might be exhaust gaskets or maybe intakes. Haven't tested yet really.

    Has ac? = 55 plus and ape hangers, lol. midrange pop at a constant throttle? My thinking check exhaust flanges at heads, might not sound out but a slight amount of leak can pull air into exhaust. As I have said before (what was done before the situation arrived) lol
