Carb rebuild

<< < (4/14) > >>

Nurse Julie:
Keihin 054a are standard on all 400/4 SOHC .

Multiman:
Thanks. for confirming Julie

Multiman:
Well this forum and its members are great.

Laverdaroo drove over in the snow yesterday and helped me remove my carbs, so much easier with two sets of hands and someone who's done it before.
Not content with that act of generosity, he then set off back home to strip, clean and fettle them all.
Cost to me - some coffee and home made biscuits.

Cheers Roo, you've restored my faith in humanity.

Anyway there are a couple of bits he's told me to try and source, so I thought I'd try here are there aren't available separately or from the usual sources.

4x float bowl drain bolts

Not sure of the correct name for this but 1 x main throttle return spring? Mines over length.

If anyone has either of these they are willing to part with please let me know and how much they'd like for them.

Many thanks
Best

Tim

Roo is a good egg and a great character- he delivered my 500 even after his proposed other personal collections  en route fell through.

Laverdaroo:
Im a right miserable sod generally mind!

The throttle return spring is too long and catching meaning the slides don’t fully open. Mr Silver had them but it’s the drain screws for the bowls are the main concern.
Had to kill one getting it out with heat and some Anglo Saxon, the other was loctite’d in (not sure if that’s a word) and has zero slot on it to remove it. More vocab, heat and mole grips retrieved it but hammered it in the process so a full set required.

Half the internals are new, half aren’t, worn needles into new tubes

Well on the way to being sorted but  had 5 hrs at em already……… loving it

A good Sunday afternoon with the radio on was had though
Nice to fiddle with something different for a change

Oh,and a plastic fuel line with a 4mm OD……………….bin!
