mikuni's on and running.. need to locate to rubber grommets that seal the fuel inlet, filters and a throttle cable.. other than that jet kit installed and carbs cleaned and bolted on :) thanks phil !!
Update:
Cables acquired, filters acquired all installed.. just setting up fuel system next, the old setup was not working well with the new carbs..

Lane, you`re in the P750 forum. ;) Only very few 750s had a Marelli Digiplex ignition. Most had the Kokusan ignition just like the later carbed Supersport and Monster or Cagiva Elefant.

going to ditch the fpr and redo my fuel lines tonight.... everything else is ready to go..
and just a heads up for anyone that wants to know a 2002 honda crf450 throttle cable will work almost
perfectly, the only flaw is that the pull barrel adjuster is a tad to small to thread in but large enough
that it doesn't flop around.. 22$ at my local powersports shop, filter are uni's and where 15$ each.

Thought I'd chime in on the carb set up, since I swapped my '88 over to a pair of Mikunis last summer (with lots of remote help and a custom-made cable bracket from Gerhard).

I found a connected pair from a mid-90s SS900 on ebay for ridiculously cheap ($60USD) a couple years ago. I fit them with a Dynajet stage 3 kit for the SS, because I installed K&N pod filters (P/N SN-2530) and I already had a pair of Cobra F1 exhaust cans on there (and they're pretty free-breathing). The connected pair simplified the set up in that I could use the throttle tube from a Monster/SS & that bike's stock twin-cable set up, as well as replicate that fueling process:

I ditched the Paso's stock electric fuel pump in favor of the Mikuni vacuum-fed pump from a Monster, and I routed the fueling from tank > filter (canister-type from a Monster, left side of bike) > fuel pump > carbs. I mounted the vacuum pump on the right side of the bike (clutch side) in a V in the frame, and 'power' it from the nearest intake manifold.

I swapped the manifolds for a pair from a SS as well; I wound up with a pair from a 900, which are slightly longer than the pair from a 750, which twist the carbs slightly, but that's a non-issue. Actually, I was happier with that, because I think made more room for the pod air filters.

While I obviously ditched the airbox, I kept the crankcase breather box, which lives right in front of the battery, under a short frame cross-member. That previously fed the Weber's airbox, so I wound up installing a filter instead. That's secured to the frame, towards the front of the bike on the left side.

I also added the triangular 'null air' box from a Monster/SS, which fits nicely into one of the upper V's in the frame (right side) into which the carbs 'breathe'. You'll see the set up in any pre-99 Monster/SS parts explosion. Each carb has an air line (with a one-way valve?) that blows into a grey plastic box.

Besides the K&N items, 2 new throttle cables, air/fuel lines, fuel filter, intake gaiters and necessary clamps - everything was picked up from ebay and shops like ducpower/guzzitech. The air filters I found cheapest on Amazon; the cables, fuel filter & intake gaiters came from Ducati. All told I think I spend under $150USD, and several hours horsing around.

And the bike is transformed. I tried a number of alternatives with the Weber, although admittedly not the solution Jon has detailed :| but I'm extremely satisfied now. The bike has never run this well. Starts like a champ, warms up quickly, idles comfortably around 900-1000 and pulls hard everywhere with no stutters or plateaus.
