thanks for all the replys, they really are doing my head in at the moment, they have just left another message on my phone today from Swansea telling me what my local office has told me, so frustrating.

I am going around in circles dealing with the DVLA at the moment, I cannot find my log book for my CB400F which I have owned for nearly 30 years, as I haven't ridden it for a number of years it seemed a good idea to freshen it up and get riding it again, I applied for a new log book and they soon cashed my cheque, they are now saying the VIN I have sent does not match the number plate , now the problems have begun, this bike had one previous local owner which showed at my local DVLA , they now want me to register the bike again.....

Total cycle cleaner S100 is good, recently had my carbs stripped down , all I can say is if you think something needs replacing do it, I thought I could get away with giving the brass a thorough clean but sometimes you have accept items need replacing, bike was running great to start with but now I have the carbs off again to replace the pilot jets and float valves, all great fun.

Hi Steve, I have had the tap apart a couple of times to clean etc because of the leak, there is an O ring type gasket in there so I assume its not doing its job because of age, I thought I could just get one easily but it hasn't been the case.

Can't help with the bolts, but on my 1975 400/4 which I have owned for 27 years the rear foot rests have always been bolted on via the bottom bolt on the rear shocks, its only recently I have noticed on photos that the foot rests look like they are bolted to the swing arm, driving me mad now so if any one could enlighten me whats correct I would appreciate it, there is nothing like marks to suggest they were bolted anywhere other than where they are now.

thanks for the replys, wemoto.com look like they might do one so will give them a try, although it will be a 2 pin one , I assume you just leave the earth off.

Carbs are back on and the old bike fired up straight away, noticed the off side outer exhaust was luke warm so had to take the carbs back off and found the pilot jet was still blocked although I thought I had cleaned it, any way carbs back on and it sounds good, obviously it will want tuning up properly and I won't know how its running until I take it down the road.

thanks for putting the photos on, my brass ware isn't as bad as yours but need cleaning, my pilot jets are blocked I didn't realise, the hole is so small they are difficult to unblock, a calm hour is required or buy some new ones although I don't like to give up.
super cycle cleaner S100 is very good for cleaning the surface of your carbs inside and out also WD40, worked for me anyway, if any one can guide me to a good item to clean that hole in the pilot jet I would appreciate it

thanks for the replies, I have rebuilt the carbs and have put two back together, I had a feeling there might be a hole through them, they are blocked then I will have to have another look , like you say I may have to buy some new ones

Daft question, I am in the process of rebuilding and giving my carbs a good clean on my CB 400F, could any one tell me if on the pilot jets there is a hole which goes straight through, end to end. I have owned this bike for over 25 years and has been off the road for a couple of years so is in need of cleaning, any tips would be appreciated
