Thanks for the info Bryanj, good to know.
I'll order the bits from Julie as suggested.
Thanks for the carb body offer, I'll pm.

Hi, having finally passed my Mod 2 I've taken my 75 400/4 out for a ride.
Initial problem was petrol coming from overflow pipes which stopped after being left overnight (pet cock off obvs).
Once hot, it died a couple times at junctions and was "jerky" at low revs.
I think sitting for a couple months hasn't done the carbs any good so intend to do a strip and rebuild.
So where's best to get carb rebuild kits? DSS, Wemoto or elsewhere?
What's Nurse Julie's eBay shop called?

On closer inspection of the carb float bowls are held on with self tappers. Joy.
I have read that folk use helicoils to fix, but was wondering if anyone had used Time Serts from Wurth and if so how did it go.
I've watched  a few videos rebuilding and read several threads on here but will no doubt come back with lots of questions.
Many thanks in advance.
Best
Tim

Hi and thanks for letting me join the forum.
It looks like a great place to learn and get help from what I have already seen whilst browsing over the last week or so.

I'm a proud new owner of a 1975 400/4 which runs, but is a bit tatty so I will be sprucing it up over time.
The previous owner had it from 2009 and I was told doted on it but has sadly passed away.
It came with a spare engine, a 1.5 Motad exhaust systems which are still in their packaging and a couple of crates of old bits n bobs. So whilst it has a high mileage of 50k Think I got a good deal, well we all hope that don't we?

So first question. If I change the current short megaphone silencer for the DS pattern part will I have to change the carb settings?
