400/4 build. Paused due to other commitments. But starting up again

<< < (60/94) > >>

I'd try rerouting the cables, didn't really study the pic before but your running another type of throttle grip and to me I think it would be better to raise up the MC, run the cables below or in front of the MC. Also check the wiring routing on the PDI instructions for the 400, throttle cable routing is vital to getting a decent tickover, far too many are routed wrong and that causes friction in the cables, they don't return as they should and you can get that hanging idle effect if it's really bad. A little silicon oil down the cable inners will help a lot as well, even new they benefit from some oil but it must be silicon oil.

Hey. Done a bit more tonight....first and foremost the throttle cables arent the issue. If i disconnect them completely start the bike and move the carbs with my hand they do the same thing so ive put them [the throttle cables] back on but made extra sure [bit of adjustment] that theyre free and moving, and there is slack at the carb end.

On the plus side i got the banjo bolt and the bolt for the lever for the front brake so thats bled and now working. Also worked out how to get the dummy lights working and the backlights for the clocks as well...some of the bulbs are dead but ive got the [shudder to say it] led ones on order....so quite sure i can finish all the electrics from a connectivty point of view.

Might need someone better than me to examine the carbs [Roo] nudge nudge....

Have you checked the fast idle linkage thats attached to the choke, not the main idle adjuster. With the choke off fully the fast idle adjuster should have clearance of 0.012 inch. There is more detail in the manual.

No idea what your talking about! I'll have a look at the manual....Im pretty sure I've got nothing that measures in inches! Down that fine!....as I say nothing I've attempted carb related has never turned out well...it usually ends in fuel going everywhere! Many thanks for the pointer though gives me something to look for!
