thanks drewpy got it out and cleaned and it fired and running on 2 cyl. now to figure out why it wont stay running when i take the jumper cables off. any tips on that? thanks in advance

Ok Thanks if it needs replaced how do i remove it, does it unscrew or does it just pull out? And is there different sizes for different apps. Thanks Drewp

I cleaned the carbs yesterday and put them back on, and it STARTED!!,even started on first time with kick start BUT is only getting gas to one cyl. opened the drain for the bowls and the right carb bowls had gas but the left or inlet side from the petcock is dry??? What can cause that? while its idling if i spray starting fluid in it will start firing but still no gas. I took the floats off very gently and the nozzle or whatever it is under the float was stuck but not on the side that is not getting gas. Please help. Also got some xs750 coils off ebay will they work on my xs400? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

thanks for the help, I posted in the classics section too, as soon as i get to it ill post on how i did. thanks again

Hey guys, got the bike out to work on getting it started but it wont. Plugs are dry and new, cleaned banjo fitting from tank to carb that had dirt in it, nothing. dumped some gas in cylinders and it fired up. dumped gas in intake and started then backfired and started a minor fire. anyway do the carbs need cleaned or rebuilt, if so where is the best detailed info on doing this step by step. thanks for your help

i like that, is that the size of a stock rim 1.85?

i would like to go with a "mag" type 5 spoke and maybe a little wider tire on front and back. dont want to modify too much just bolt on. ive seen some on like the 650s and up, will those fit

more than likely till i can figure out something else for the starter button. thanks in advance.

Hi I want to put different wheels an tires on this bike, Wanna go with a mag wheel set up with a slightly larger tire from something in the yamaha family. (nothing outstanding just an upgrade) also how hard is it to convert to a disc brake set up? im doing a bobber project with my son, we are adding 10" apes and solo seat and maybe forward controls. also how would i go about ordering longer cables? any help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance!!!

WOW THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!!!! 30 PEOPLE LOOKED AT IT AND NOT 1 OF YOU COULD HELP ME!!!!!!! I GUESS ILL GO BACK TO MY HARLEY FAMILY AT LEAST THEY KNOW THEIR BIKES FROM 1903-2008!!!!! THANX FOR NOTHING!!!! RICK
