Look what i've bought!
#11
Insides of carbs are spotless. I have owned many heeps in my day and stripped and cleaned. Usually take to local bike shop and blow air through jets after cleaning. The only thing it may be is that the carb rubber clamps fully screw in and aren't exactly tight, so i might buy hose clips and see how that helps. carb rubbers have no cracks. I think it is going to be several small things that aren't 'quite right', so one thing at a time to eliminate any possible issues. I changed the carbs over the other day and the bike was exactly the same, so i think it is an issue outwith the carbs. ie ignition, carb rubbers, possible fault regarding it being dropped, which has engaged a fault code that restricts the bike :rolleyes  . Disconnected battery in case it was something to do with that. I heard of this happening on bros a cb 400.


The river clyde probably has several fx 400 r's at the bottom. Might buy scuba equipment to fish out what i need. The back tyre has more sidewall depth than width :lol  If i get it running well :'( I might have to sell it to some poor sod :o
If it's broken, it's not fixed.
