Hi all.
I've lost my sheet of paper on which i wrote down the positioning of the decals for the tank and side panels for my 400-4 f1.
Would anyone be kind enough to measure the decal positions for the tank from the front edge and bottom and for the side panels from the front edge and top.

Can look it over for you.

To check the coils you need to disconnect them then take a primary and a secondary reading with an ohm meter I don't know the exact figures but the primary which is taken between the 2 thin leads should be about 4-7 ohms and the secondary taken between the 2 ht leads should be somewhere between about 25000 to 35000 ohms if you check both of them they should be roughly the same , usulay if the coil is knackered you will have an open circuit between one of them.
Hi all. Problem solved. Forgot to clean the points contacts! Always the simple things that get missed! Fired up first time. Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk

Hi All,
I can't get a spark out of my newly built 400/4.
have fitted new points and condensers, set gaps and timing.
Get spark at the points but not from the plugs.
Have checked 12v at black white wire on coils, earthing from coils to frame and continuity of the blue and yellow wires to the points. checked and changed plug caps to no effect. Have also checked engine kill circuit and neutral switch. Starter motor works OK.
Coils are getting warm so assume they are getting power.
Apart from this i do not know how to check the coils themselves.
What am I missing??
TIA
Adrian

Hi all,
Finally assembling my basket case 400/4.
I had the frame powder coated but now need to know where to remove the powder coating from to ensure all electrical components are grounded properly.
Does anyone have a list of the locations or a diagram would be even better?
Also had the airbox/ electrical mount assembly powder coated are there points here that need to be cleaned back as well?
TIA
Adrian

used simonez engine enamel.
Be careful to bake it out at 200C to fully cure it. you'll find this with most engine enamels.
I've found htat curing by running the engine does not always work.

which bolt has snapped? the lock bolt?
This just locks the spring loaded plunger in place.
If you can get the remaining bit out then just replace the bolt.
Left hand drill bits or an easy out will usually help you remove the bolt.
New ones available on eBay.

Can someone please let me know the rim offsets on the rear wheel for a 1976 cb400f? A photo of the spoke pattern would also be extremely useful.

I'd be interested in the chain guard, seat and possibly the rims if in good condition.
Also looking for a good condition front mudguard.
Could post some pictures up or PM?
Cheers
