Thanks a bunch Chuck. I see what you're saying now, i would have never though to try and change the needle jets really, to be honest. Didn't cross my mind as a tuning type of adjustment. I have contemplated the dyno jet kits but I've heard of people having trouble with them too as far as buying them (fairly pricy) putting it all in and still now fixing the problem fully.
My manager at work (vintage bike guru pretty much, has arpund 30 something old bikes) has been giving me lots of advice and looked into the problem online everywhere and found the same info other guys have said here that the 750's don't seem to like pods. I'm no doubtful at all that it CAN be made to run with them, but the problem is my huge lack of time to work on it constantly and I hate dumping money into it and not seeing many results. If I could dump a bunch into it knowing for sure it would work I would in a heart beat. The other problem and probably the biggest is the fact that it is my only bike. If I had a second bike to be riding until I get this one tuned in I'd be more eager to dial it in, but being that I'm completely missing out on riding right now altogether I just want it running as fast as possible even if that means back to factory settings and then maybe I can try again once I pick up another bike down the road.
Another coworker suggested at least trying the factoy setting onces because I haven't since I had the top end all apart. He said try it because it ran that way before, so if it runs that way again that at least confirms I put everything all back together correctly and the timing is right. He said maybe my timing chain is off by a half link or something but I triple checked it before putting it back together and am 99.9% sure it's all correct, although you can never be too sure. People make mistakes, So I think i should at least try throwing the airbox back in this weekend to confirm everything is mechanically right. I wish I would have just done that in the first place after tearing the engine down instead of messing with the carbs before I tried running it. But, you live and you learn. It's a mistake I won't make a second time.
