Ironhead Need help troubleshooting my 76 ironhead

$

So to begin, the bike starts just fine and idles. The first problem I am experiencing is the throttle cable (single cable) which I am replacing as soon as the part comes in.

The second problem I am having is having the engine die out going uphill (which is a convenient location to break down). The bike will sputter and giving it throttle caused it to jump and lurch quite a bit. This really happened only going up hill. Then giving it throttle simply caused the engine to shut off entirely.

Anyone have any ideas of where to start with this thing? I'm interested in finding a service manual but haven't had much luck finding it online for my year.

TIA
