Vance and Hines use to give suggestion of were to start ball part on mains,you may be able to find that on line, carbs may need a good cleaning after all these years, look in manual bottom out pilots gently and turn out to secs, forget as for older VM types next gen CV i put at 2.5 turns to start for instance

Welcome Ern, I've a soft spot as a "77" GS750 was my first real bike. He bought it when you were 6 mo. old, wondering if he bought it "new" when you were 6 mo. old? Pictures show a great looking survivor. Congrats to you and him both... Not that it matters, but is there a reason the front fender is on bass akwards??? Like said Welcome and Congrats.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100

He bought it off the showroom floor. It was the last of the 77s at the store at that time

Typically, adding a header does not require rejetting, if the stock airbox is used. If pushed, you could bump the main one size or so. The K&N in the airbox could lean the mixture a small bit, but not much. Most likely, the running problems trace to needed maintenance. Check my signature for the Newbie Mistakes thread. You should go through that and catch up all the maintenance before doing anything more.Ed
To measure is to know.

I've read it a couple of times.
I've gone down the list and worked through a few of the items.
Once the carbs are on, I'm going to check valve clearance and adjust if needed.
I'm going to have to educate myself on checking the timing as it has an electronic ignition my dad put on it.
I've enjoyed the read and it was eye opening... This old bike is.
