Honda-SOHC

Evidence that this bike has been sitting around for a period of time but nevertheless a nice 400 for someone to purchase, interesting too to see what price it goes for! Anyone on here on the hunt for one?

Think it’s a wicked little bike, kept for a reason and cherished enough to put in a vac bag.

You lot are a tough crowd

And folk said Ken was a harsh critic!

Wendy's Freelander rear plate was a good 1/4 " out of level when we purchased it a couple of years ago plus it was not central in the boot recess.
When I removed the plate the holes drilled into the boot we're not level either.

Needless to say I sorted it.

I mounted the carbs in the workmate and made sure they were on the level. Frantic tapping of the bowl did nothing to free a sticking float (if that's what it was). Looking at the float valve needle with a pair of watchmakers glasses I can see a very slight ridge so this is probably enough to prevent the valve properly closing. I have a bag of old carb spares so I'll see if I have an old valve as fitting a full set of Keyster parts once before they all leaked!

I believe members here have used a mild abrasive to bed in used valves, I guess it's unlikely to work on a badly worn valve.

Nice work there Dave on the clocks and super fast yellow bits!🤣 Always good to see bits and pieces ready for fitting.
