This is what I use on everything including carburetors.  Nut ,bolts. Rubber footpegs come out looking like new.

The brown stuff is called " blooming" it happens more to rubber when you use a tire dressing with Silicone in it.
I suggest finding a tire dressing that is Silicone free.

I prefer the kits from Cmsnl.com as the nipples are the correct yellow cad as original.  A better look with contrast.

Great video.  Thank you for this.
I only have a one Liter unit and it will fit all sohc carburetors one at a time.
I use this all the time for bolts,nuts and all kinds of hardware.
Water and Dawn will make your footpegs look like new. Gets  all the old dirt down in the crevases clean in 10 minutes.

I was only trying to be helpful.
The original poster was asking for the correct size and I posted the picture of the bag with the correct size
Peace ✌️

This quote is from Hondaman on the us Forums. And i trust everything he  says!



"If they were NOT Viton O-rings, they would probably work well. Since they are, though, the 3.5mm dimension might be tighter than the ID of the wasp-waist groove where it sits. With Viton you mustn't make it stretch more than about 5% of its ID or over time it will break: this is partly why Buna 70 remains king in the ethanol-laced fuel world, because it expands when ethanol hits it and shrinks again when it dries out. This prevents them from self-destructing."

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.

Is that the correct material Ozzybud?

Says NBR on the packaging and if memory serves that’s nitrile, which is not recommended for today’s fuels containing ethanol. Surely Viton or FKM would be a much better choice?

AFAICR the original orings were nitrile and so I’d avoid replacing with genuine parts for this application as the same problem will just reoccur. Unless Honda have changed the material at a later date to allow for this.

Yes Viton is safe for all modern fuels.  Most modern automobiles use nitrile for their hoses and o-rings in the fuel systems.

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.

Please don't trust google for anything these days especially for motorcycle or medical advice.
The o-rings i posted above are the correct material and fit. They pop in snugly.
All of the kits you can get in the states do not have the correct main jet o-ring.
I have been using these for years and sharing with friends. If you were close I would gladly send you a set fir free.

Anorak's Corner / Re: 400F breather cover
« on: November 19, 2025, 12:33:27 AM »
They changed up some engine finishes between the 350F and 400F the valve cover on the 350F is polished and clearcoated. The 400F valve cover is painted  cloud silver.  The breather cover appears the be as cast with no finish whatsoever. Similar changes to the side case covers.
