1978 400f - part project
blackeagles:
m5, thanks i will look out for a set of guages
blackeagles:
hmmm can't adjust the primary - then, as has been said, a real need to adjust/sync the carbs and this seems to be the noise i can hear rather then the cam chain
blackeagles:
forgot to mention, i have run it with the air pilot at 2 turns out as a rough setup before i think about the sync and it seems to run best (without sync) at 2 3/4 turns out - which i think is a bit too far out (even with spring loading they could undo) - so may have to try 2 1/2 out and stick with it for the time being.
it ticks over at 1400 ish (at 1200 the primary rattle/lash is just too much for me to endure) but the rev counter clearly shows a very small bit of movement up and down and the bike has an annoying habbit of settling down at a lower rev level after a few moments - hopefully the sync will stop these little niggles
blackeagles:
at last carbs seem to be 'ok' so primary and cam chains make less noise than they used to, cleaned most of the elec. terminals, new cables and i'm almost there.
still need to change the cut down front mudguard and front brake line but they can wait. i will put a couple of pics up in the near future. bring on the sun!
blackeagles:
pics make it look a bit better than it is - you cannot see the staining on the chrome - but i'm not into making a bike look like its just off the production line just an honest 40 year old reasonably looked after.
