cb400f - carb sync
blackeagles:
filter is new.
i have one of those exotic dancer fans i got from a night out, maybe i should fan the engine and make the adjustments ;D
ok, used the gauges and only 3 worked - one hardly moved - but when i swapped the tube over i managed to adjust it ok so now all readig same (115ish mmhg).
even with the air screw out 2 3/4 turns out its still far too rich to the point that there is a smoke screen from the pipe. interesting that when i took the pipes off to swap over the gauges to get a reading the engine perked up.
looks like its down to taking the carbs off yet again and changing the 'brass' - i can only guess that when i cleared the blockage from all 4 slow running jets using an ultra fine drill (23thou) i must have altered them or maybe i set the float level wrongly ( i set it to 21mm) - also the origional needle setting was 2 down and i reset it p to 3 down but the needle position should not make any real difference!!??
the kit i'm thinking of using is damineding
blackeagles:
quick question.
there are very small 'cut aways' on the lower lip of each on the throttle slides (pic of two below). they look like a previous owner has put a drill or something under the slide to get the initial gap but either ramed it in or banged the slide up and down causing a small chip in the slide skirt - anything i need to worry about/replace the slides as the damage is very small?
Nurse Julie:
Worry not, it is very common.
Deano400:
Mine are exactly the same and it runs just fine. Don't think it is PO damage.
blackeagles:
thanks, one less thing to worry about!
