i've got a 1975 honda cl360. in neutral it idles well and i can rev the engine to redline no problem. when i get on put it in gear and ride for a few feet the bike suddenly runs like crap, has no power, won't idle, and eventually dies. the carbs are clean and re-kitted. the points and timing are ...
