I have an 82 CB450SC that had the same problem. It was dirt in the carb bowl and carb sync. You need to do them both, without a doubt. My motorcycle ran, in a mode of poor performance for some time before I realized it truly was dirt from the tank getting into the carb and then balancing the carbs so that acceleration was smooth.
