those hondamatics were all major slugs; they were seconds slower in the 1/4 then 5 speed bikes.
this could be yet another total senior moment, but i seem to recall they didn't have real torque converters but just fluid couplings like an old dynaflow & other 1st-generation domestic car transmissions used?
regardless, i agree w/ ckau; it sounds like it's up on "converter stall speed" but not getting past that point.
you got a tach hooked up yet?
