Clunk, the penny is beginning to drop. I see from the parts book they are handed. There are 2 of each. When i took them apart it was clear someone in the past had had them apart then roughly assembled them. They've just mixed them up i think
I should be able to swap to get them the same. But which way round, cutouts to the head or cutouts to the air filter?

Hi all, been a long time since I posted on here, I've just got around to my 400 4s again.
So I've just finished overhauling a set of carbs and was just getting around to doing an initial bench set up when i looked down the head side of the bores. 2 of them have got a curve to the bottom of the slides and 2 havn't. What's going on?
Answers on a post card please?

I've had to do the odd swerve when my mate in front grabs a handfull of his modern up front twin discs, it's definately a wing and a prayer time, though the squeal from my front brake does warn him that I am close.
Cheers

Yes, Johns right, Boyer do several, but with a separate black box. My comfort zone is really Brit bikes, and I suppose I've been spoilt as there is quite a broad choice of EIs. On my Commando I'm currently using a Trispark unit. These were originally developed for the Triumph and BSA triples, but now also make them for most 70s Brit vertical twins. The nice thing about it is it does away with the Mech A & R, and also the whole lot fits under the points cover, no separate box, all very neat, and a Commando must have a quarter of the space under the points cover compared with a CB400.
I'll have a look at the Pamco site. thanks.
Cheers

Thanks guys, I'm surprised just how few electronic ignitions are available for the 400.
I had a look at the Dyna, but I'm not sure I see the point of retaining the mechanical advance and retard. In my view one of the advantages of a lot of the more modern EI's is an improved / more stable idle- if it see's the revs slow up it alters the advance slightly to pick the revs up.

hi all,
has anyone had experience of using any of the many (new) coils advertised on EBay.
Also what's your experience of electronic ignition (reliability) and what choices are there.
Thanks
Terry

I had it on the rear bolt to start with, but reading an old topic titled Coils/leads (sorry can't do the clever link) it suggested to me that the clip included the tacho cable, that's what was driving me potty trying to figure out how it could possibly hold the tacho cable.
Thanks for the help guys. now for my next topic ....... coils.

So the clip is on the rearmost bolt, and it's facing the spine frame tube and it's holding the throttle cables and the tacho cables against the frame. Have I got that right?

That little chrome clip on the horn bracket is driving me potty. Can anyone explain how its meant to fit, or ideally post a picture please. The horn faces sideways, and I'd always assumed that the clip faced upwards and towards the frame to hold the throttle cables, but then I read on here somewhere that it goes the otherway round and holds the tacho cable in.
I must have spent an hour this morning pratting around with it, and I'm still none the wiser.

Well the rivets went in just fine, nice and tight, just needed a tap in with a small hammer.
Thanks again Trigger.

Thanks Trigger, Rivets arrived today. It'll be a few weeks before I get on to it, as I've just found out I've got a heart thing called Atrial fibrillation which at the moment doesn't put be in the mood for anything much. I'm told once the medication is sorted it should stabilize. Anyway I'll keep you posted (about the rivets  . Regards Terry

Thanks guys for all the advice, much appreciated.
Bryan, are you sure of that number, seems to be a dash missing, but even with a dash seems to be too many digits, it's not recognized.
Cheers

Hi,
can anyone tell me a part number for the rivets that hold the Data plate on, or where I can get any?
I guess for obvious reasons they're not listed in the Honda parts book.
Cheers

Thanks for the advice guys.
I've modified my order this morning to suit. Saved a bit on clamps!
