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
