Thanks K2-K6, it's frustrating trying to get her running well without overflowing fuel, I've had the carbs on and off about 20 times!
Welcome to the forum. We have a few 400/4 owners in Perth hopefully one will pop up soon and say Hi.
Welcome to the 400/4 forum . As anybody will tell you, the yellow ones were the fastest!I agree with Nigel about the carbs, they are a real pain to set up to avoid leaks. I have found along with many others on the forum that it is best to use the old brassware if you can and cleaned in an ultrasonic bath along with the rest of the carb parts. I have used Keyster carb kits twice and could not stop the leaks so reused the originals and hey presto, no more leaks. Did you bench sinc the carbs before putting the carb bank back on the bike, worthwhile doing and saves a whole lot of aggro if you do.Type in 'carbs' to the search box and you'll get a few links to threads all mentioning the same subject.

Something like a bbq wood skewer with t-cut (just a gentle abrasive polish) to make sure of competent sealing surface may assist reliable close off. Either twizzle it with your hands or spin slowly in a drill to give the tapered seat a clean and smooth surface. Thanks K2-K6, I'll give that a go next time the carbs are off!Drives you nuts when they keep letting fuel out doesn't it. Seems so simple but fundamental to running well.
Welcome to the forum. Hope you get the overflowing sorted. Plus 1 on K2-K6's suggestion.
