Sugestions needed. Carbs or other ?

So i have rebuilt these carb's three times. im guessing at this point it's still the carbs. I have pods on it right now because i don't and have never had the stock air box so i cant try that at this point.. I had 29 smoothbores on it before but they diapered over the 25 years it sat.

The bike will now idle all the way down to 500 rpm since i found the three plugged air ports.
the bike on the rack will rev to 10.000+ rpm fine every time i twist the throttle. But, riding down the road it runs and pulls untill you get to 6000 rpm and then it feels like you hit a rev limiter and will not go past that point under load.

it has 45 pilots and 125 mains.

Yes i know you should not use pods on these carbs, but its all i have right now.
The valves and timing are on mark.
Strong Spark. "electrical pick up."

Could resister plugs be the problem ?
What else should i be looking at ?

I have a set of 26 mm stock 79 carbs im going to clean and put on to see if it will get past that point.
I have a old set of 26mm boots. i cut the ends of the boots off and made them into a spacer between the 26mm carbs and the 32 mm CV boots.
Its a nice tight fit.
I dont want to have to buy carbs unless i have to, and have exhausted all other options..

This is a 635 big bore with cams and other related parts.

Thanks, Phil

You may not want to hear this but the most likely culprit is the pods. If you can source a stock airbox, then at least you will have something to establish a baseline against. Failing that, I suppose you can try going up on the main jets. What do you have for an exhaust?

Full yoshimura exhaust..

Sure would be nice to know what bike you are talking about.

Sorry.. LOL... its a 1979 gs550e. 635 kit with cam's. Cams degree'd, valve springs, lite porting. it use to run with this setup but it had 29 smoothbores back then.. I only have a set of 1980 CV carbs and a set of stock 26mm.
