Oddjob. Is it your job on this forum to disagree with just about every post that i make on here?
I post from my experience and what works for me. I ask you to do the same. Isn't this why you got booted from the forum?
Friends don't let friends put ethanol fuel into their classic cars .motorcycles and lawn equipment. It gathers water and ruins everything. In your daily driver its fine. But periodic use machines is a Hard No for me.
If you have to use E10 fuel I get it. We can get ethanol free gas in the states.
In defence of Ken do you expect us to know you have Ethanol free Petrol in the US? Why not stick to the US forum rather than make inappropriate comments here stirring up old wounds. This forum gives advice, you can choose to ignore it without winging.

 Press and rotate to remove bulb leaves out, "find small pliers to remove broken glass from fingers, then search for plasters with blood running down hand" 😫
With new bulb fitted it still does not work.

Ill never forget the James Hanratty case (last man to hang in UK), the jounalist Paul? Foot wrote a book claiming his innocence.
Eventually the Court of appeal exhumed his body against his family wishes, guess what, it was a DNA match to several exhibits.
IIRC he murdered Michael Gregson and raped and left for dead Valerie Storer who was shot and left paralysed, IIRC she lived long enought to see the court uphold his conviction despite the defence always trying to rubbish her identification parade evidence.
The journalist claimed Hanratty was in Wales.

That's weird, the part number on Google must be wrong.
My excuse is I had a bout of insomnia hence the post time.

According to Google serach
The main jet O-ring for the Honda CB400/4 is a 4.2mm x 1.1mm O-ring. This is the correct size for the secondary main jets in the Keihin carburetors used on this model, and it is also the size for many other Honda motorcycles from that era, such as the CB350, CB500, and CB550.
Dimensions: \(4.2mm\) (inner diameter) x \(1.1mm\) (cross-section).
Part Number:OEM part number 91301-426-010.

You have probably tried this but worth mentioning.
Assuming you have a center stand, with the engine at idle or just above, , have you tried engaging first gear, as there is now little load on the wheel it should not cause any damage. As the rear wheel rotates, put on the rear brake with the clutch lever pulled fully in.
If the engine stalls on braking or the rpm drops significantly this should mean the clutch is not fully disengaging.

My first thought is are you sure the clutch cable is in good condition & routed correctly?

I watched part 1 of the man in the mask series last night.
Made me wonder if any members here were living on the Island at the time?

When I was working in a body shop back in 1974 we had an ingot of lead that we used to fill the rot holes in the tops of wings on old Rovers & Vauxhall's.
We also had a free pint of milk a day due to some sort of factory legislation.
