Still carb troubles
billdn:
Thanks all for the thoughts and support, it's been a rough road .
but inwards and onwards!
I'll try Ken's suggestion first and then if needs be, and fear it will , I'll take off the carbs, again and do yet another bench sync. The guy on the production line building the 400 must have loved his job of fitting the carbs !
Might be a day or two as got to help the oldies (parents) for a few days after today.
But as Arnie says "I'll be back"

So sorry for your loss too Bill! But power to your elbow for stepping out the other side and getting on with things! Good to have a focus and distraction. Good luck with the running issues.

I will go back and check my 350F build thread when I get a chance. My carbs came ready built from Gerben in Holland and came with the quadrant problem. He sent me an email of how to rectify it so will look for that as well. Yes the quadrant is where the push and pull cables connect. Is your pull cable only just fitting or is there plenty of adjustment.

You could try this as to me it sounds as though the throttle lifters are set too high, especially if the carbs have been apart.
Get the adjuster screws, the ones with the little 8mm headed nuts on and the flat bladed screwdriver slot. Screw them all down as far as they can go. You may now struggle to get the bike to tickover and starting will involve a little jiggling with the throttle. Once you get it started adjust the main tickover screw to see if it will idle. If so, now vac the carbs to equalise them.
See if that works.
Before you do that post a pic of the adjusters so we can see how high they are now.

Cables fine Roy, plenty of adjustment on both, which I think is good 😏
