Honda-SOHC

Thanks Ka-Ja, Generally the condition of the clutch seemed okay when I had the covers off the bike had not done that many miles from new before the crash so I am hoping it just needs to adjustment to sort it out, however i am not clear how to do this at the moment?!

After faffing around with a few bits and bobs I decided to head down my street just to see how it was running, apart from feeling very small compared to my DL1000 I am sure the clutch was slipping, when I gassed it up a bit it did accelerate but not at the same speed as the revs, is there anyway to adjust the clutch other tahn the cable or am I in need of a new clutch?  It would not surprise me as the bike stood for 30 years before I got my hands on.

Aside from the carb fuel flooding issue she seems to be running pretty sweet, idles well without the choke and revs nicely and freely very excited about getting it finally finished off, just in time for... well erm... winter... 

Still plenty I am not happy with but just keen to get it through the MOT and ready to ride.

Also on the carbs its only 2 that seem to overflow, what are peoples thoughts, get kits for all or just the 2 that are an issue?

Cheers

Hi Everyone, stumbles acorss this place looking for some answers to a overflowing 400/4 issue, wish i had found it earlier as there seems to be some great knowledge here!

I have a 1976 400 four which was the father in laws, following a crash he had it stored for 30 years until I took it on, done a lot of work and pleased with the results, still has a few bits to sort out before it hits the road and no doubt I have a lot more questions!
