400-4 Tappet Adjustment using thread pitch?
Lobo:
The 400F rebuilt blog in Classic Bike mag recently quoted the tappet thread @ 0.5mm (/ turn); or 0.02"
Given all 400F tappets are set to 0.002" it implies 1/10 of a turn to set them.
Not saying its correct - just saying I've read that!

Many thanks .. I have taken a look and found an ebay shop (Autostar) that seems to have what I need (6.3mm 8 way connector - I can either use the whole connector or use bits I think) and what look likes the right bullet connectors (3.9mm) .. we'll see. I also ordered some PVC loop tape and stuff which is more heat resistant too (currently re-building another bike .. sorry .. not SOHC but a smelly 1975 2-stroke (my other love!) so I needed tape for that too. Hopefully I can get the cable repaired with this, get power to my alternator and hopefully all will be well and I can put some miles on the 400 without running out of juice .. or will my RR let me down .... we'll see :).

Ahhhhhh .. THAT'S where I read it ... doh .... of course .. and I was using the article on electrics to suss my alternator problem ...
Lobo:
Ah... and its a pain, but the bullet connectors are 3.5mm. Bloody hard to source: if you find them in the UK can you post their address here... I've always had to use the 'States...

Ah indeed - thanks Simon. Well .. I need just the female part this time - so I may be able to adapt them .. but I'll have a hunt for 3.5s .. thanks for the warning.
Cheers,
Dave
