CB350/400 / Re: CARB JETS
« on: April 03, 2017, 07:39:20 PM »
Stripped the carbs down and went up a size on the jets.
80 main and 45 on the slow jets.
Double checked the float levels and new rubbers all round.
Took it out for a quick spin and it bogs down on initial acceleration but then pulls like a train.
Didn't go far enough to check the plug colour or do a chop.
What do you think rich or weak. ;)

Plan on doing mine in a bit
Did you take just the log book?
Iv managed to misplace my MOT so can't take that with me.
Hi,  I just took the log book filled in the taxasion class to historic signed and dated it.
They changed it online with the DVLA taxed it and sent the log book off.

Niko,
              If it is like the 400/4 DON'T start it with the cover OFF.
You will end up with oil all over the floor. (I made the mistake thinking it would be easy to clean the rotor :'()

Make sure you've got fresh juice in it.  Modern juice goes off after a couple of months and the engine won't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
Fresh that morning Mike.
It's just down to the crap silencer, I bought it last summer or I would be back on the phone to them.

Have a look at this company - don't know about 400 carbs but they seem to have a huge range of jets - http://www.allensperformance.co.uk/carb-kit/keihin-jet-identification-chart/

Hi all,
            Took the 400/4 in for its MOT at the weekend as I can change the tax to historic from the 1st April.
It sailed through the MOT but I have an issue with the jetting now.
I fitted a Silvers aftermarket silencer and it now runs crap, won't pull and won't rev through the range (you have been warned if you are looking at one).
Checked the plugs and as I thought it is running weak. Looking to get some oversize jets if anyone can recommend somewhere or has anyone tried these .

Just in case anyone is wondering, I have packed the mint original exhaust system away under the bed  ;D ;D

Misc / Open / Re: Venhill throttle cables for 550k
« on: March 24, 2017, 02:31:15 PM »
Well Iv just been quoted £16.83 per set so that's only £8.42 per cable.
I think that's pretty good for stainless steel nylon lined cables.
The quality is spot on I have just had some from them and a kit to make my own up for my cafe racer project.

Sad I have had quite a few sets from them, last one a full 400/4 set so I could keep the original under the bed.
