Helping a friend get the '79 xs400 running right before I officially buy it. Swapped in a new battery, fresh fuel and oil, but it still won't run right. It revved up really good with the new battery and all, but finally bogged down and died. Every start after that sounded weak, even with the throttle wide open. It hits 1k, maybe 1.5k on the tach but then dies. Pulled the carb apart and the jets are 2 different sizes, but the needles aren't. A nice groove was worn in on the smaller one. Ordered new ones. Any idea what else could be wrong?
