Uncontrolled Revving in XS400
there is no air screw, that is metred by the air jet situated inside the intake mouth of the carb. the pilot screw on the body near the engine regulates the fuel. the idle screw just generally raises or lowers the revs like a throttle!

thinking out of the box; if you can get a wide thread holed oil filter, could you not make a mushroom shaped adaptor with the correct internal thread for the bike, with the external correct for the filter?

how does kickstart engage engine...
also note that the engine won't turn over with the clutch disengaged/missing as the kick gear moves the gears through the tranny via the clutch to the main drive pinion at the end of the crank!!

Adjusting the valves on my XS400
you don't really need a torque wrench for the screw although it only 6lbs ft so don't go mad!! do it yourself its really easy if a little fiddly, try and buy the angled gauges as they can be manovered easily.

is a 77 xs400 engine swappable into a 78?
As i said all sohc's will fit. if the contacts can be upgraded, then i assume the reverse is true
