CB350/400 / A hunt for seals
« on: Today at 03:37:40 PM »
I'm on a hunt for some seals, and I don't mean with a club either!  ;D When I had my recent engine rebuild done, they mechanic told me that the large seal for the oil pump wasn't in the seal kit I had supplied. I got that part from DSS no problem but it turns out there are some very small seals that also ought to be changed (why not say before?) as I've still got some leaking I'll endeavour to get them.
They are parts 285 and the twice numbered (?) 286/7 0n the CMSL diagram I've posted here. https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb400f-england_model14639/partslist/E01-3.html  .
The seals numbered 285 (part # 91302044013) on the picture I can get from DSS as they are in stock, but 286/7 isn't in the associated parts list on the CMSL page I just linked, so I can't pull up the proper part number/s to put into the DSS search box, so I'm stuck. Can anyone help?

If the MBE is awarded to those who stand out in their field, why hasn't Worzel Gummidge been given one?  :o

Misc / Open / Sump gasket...what to think?
« on: May 02, 2024, 11:43:23 AM »
I ordered a sump gasket for my CB400F2 as seen here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363126431330
What arrived today in the post.... see the image. Doesn't look quite the same to me :-\  Does the blue on the Interface gasket peel off or something? I'm doubtful I've got what I ordered. I'm not sure if I would need a sealant to use this one. Can anyone offer peace of mind or the opposite?

If you think a sidecar is too boring to consider, try a CHARIOT!  ;)

CB350/400 / Reaching tail light wires
« on: April 27, 2024, 02:34:49 PM »
Could it be my wires are too short or something? I had to bend the tang on my new tail light assembly to finally have the associated wire go on and the two other wires nearly had me burst a blood vessel.  >:( Honestly though when you have COPD it is things like this that make it show in the end. Is it easier to start undoing other things first. Any ideas?  ;)

Misc / Open / Oily irony
« on: April 13, 2024, 11:21:42 AM »
Much it seems is being made of the fact that today my special oil for evil ancient petrol burning classic motorcycles from the era of unlimited pollution will be delivered to me on an electric vehicle. Are they trying to tell me something?  ;)

Misc / Open / Ram Air
« on: April 07, 2024, 12:23:27 PM »
For a few months I rode a GT380, the only air cooled two stroke I ever had. Anyone got an opinion if it made any difference or was it just a gimmick?  :-\

What does that loop on the right footrest assembly actually do?  :-\

CB350/400 / Missing Horn Stay?
« on: April 05, 2024, 10:39:57 PM »
I seem to have come across another missing part on my bike, unless it applies to Japanese market only or something?  :-\ I don't have this horn stay on my bike which has the horn forward facing. https://www.yamiya750.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=179_274_204_240&products_id=3191

Misc / Open / Oil temperature gauge
« on: April 05, 2024, 12:02:50 AM »
I spotted this oil temperature gauge for the CB400F on the Yamiya site, if my guess is correct it fits where the dipstick otherwise would sit. Has anyone got one, is it worth investing in? https://www.yamiya750.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=179_281&products_id=4119

CB350/400 / Carb overflow tube size
« on: March 26, 2024, 08:57:45 PM »
Before I go get it wrong on Ebay again, are the four carb overflow tubes on the CB400F 3.5 mm in diameter as per the inside?

CB350/400 / Seized clutch adjuster bolt.
« on: March 25, 2024, 05:49:58 PM »
I've got a seized clutch adjuster bolt meaning I couldn't fit and adjust a new cable as per book. My clutch is working ok but engaging rather late. My efforts to release the clutch adjuster bolt from it's hole in the clutch cover had me go blue in the face before... Banzai ..I had twisted clean in half a socket reducer.  :o
Thing is maybe this had saved me from stripping the thread in the clutch housing itself. The question is if that ends up happening when I get this sorted can it be fixed with an insert?

Misc / Open / Stop/Tail light issue....electrical genius needed..
« on: March 21, 2024, 12:33:02 PM »
I've discovered my tail light is on even when the headlamp is off and the brake light from the lever isn't working. I've checked everything under the tail light mount is plugged in and colour matched, all three wires are. Also did some twiddling about with the stop light switch no result. What on earth could be causing this.  :-\
