Answer
Ken,
 May try to richen the mixture by setting the e-clip one notch down.  If you still have trouble you may need to purchase an aftermarket replacement needle and jet from Dynojet.  Contact them or the company that made the pipes and tell them your application they should be able to reccomend the proper jet kit.  I say this assuming your carbs are clean and aside from the main jet, adjusted properly.  Points can play a factor too.  If you have done all the work you've done and haven't done so already, purchase an aftermarket electronic ignition.  NIGHT AND DAY.  I have purchased one through motocarrera.com, Newtronic Systems Ltd. (in Britain).  If you have no luck through Mottocarrera try Newtronic at (01254)682550 in Blackburn Lancaster.

Hope this helps,
Mike
