The Hull guy gets his Viton seals locally .. he also has a batch of the  little machined press in pins that retain the the carb operating shaft in the main alloy mounting plate..... such is the attention to detail. I would say the carbs that he sold my mate were at least as good but not as  'blingy' as the Gerben ones I have .. My Gerben ones have pattern brassware and a spray painted alloy plate and replated but slightly nadgered JIS screws ..plus this guy tests/syncs the carbs on his own 400/4. OK you can't hope to then put them on your own 400 and not have to re-do them but they must be  pretty damn close. He has offered my mate £60/70 for his old set.

Attached is the pic of the carbs we bought synced on the sellers bike.

I'd definitely like his details please as I'm just started stripdown on my 76 CB400 that's been sat in a garage for 11 years.

TIA

I just need to phone him for you and another member to make sure he's happy taking on the work.

Hi ...  I called him and he doesn't really take on carbs for other people. He just builds set when he can get the and then sells them on eBay. I think somebody on here contacted him via eBay and he is telling them when the set he is currently doing. he offered £60-£70 for my mates old set.
