ARTIKSNO340.ive got a 72 panther440 kawi motor. I restored it last year but its got some problems. seems it doesnt want to move under load. Meaning on stand it rev's fine w/ a rider it wants to die. I got lots of time into this piece and im getting bummed out.
I replaced the seals both outers and inner. honed and re-ringed, new fuel lines and tank. I think the timing is off . would that be my problem?

Sounds like you have some primary clutch issues, I have rebuilt a few of these motors and they have alot of pep even when there is an issue. I had one that ran great with all the jug gaskets blown(now i have rebuilt it but that didnt stop it from running fine) I just got done rebuilding a clutch on the 440 kawi that had the same issues as your engine and that fixed the issue. Hope this helps.
