i have a little one fits no problem the whole thing looks like a reverse L. btw you can undo the carb connection and turn the union to the horizontal position

sounds like a carb issue. pulling the clutch in then the engine revving could be either a sticking throttle cable or you have a weak mix. does the bike rev in neutral? army; all xs400's have false neutrals some where, mine is between 5th and 6th if you adjust the drive chain, it helps gear changing immensly

not sure why you need to change the spec of the starter sprocket! maybe the chain has worn past its use by date or the guide is worn?

Velcome to de forumz cliton

you have two chances of that; No chance and fat chance

I've got one

catalogue mistakes aside, yes they are the same part cause that is the only part # they can go by!

its in me diary, better be good weather

yep that's no problem for either applicaion and it'll work out cheaoer

you can either get replacement stantions (disco volante)or have them hard chromed and re-ground (philots in UK) lowers just need stripping and rebuilding, wirth do pregressive upgrade springs

yes

get the part number and try http://216.168.60.165/speedandsportinc/index.tpl

you can bend them a bit at the tips. I always set them to the smallest gap and feel a slight drag. BTW the things are noisy anyway so don't expect quiet, these are an aircooled 30 year old bike pre noise restrictions so don't be too hard on yourself. mine do make a clatter and that was after full rebuild with new parts! it all adds character to the bike the valve gaps are for timing not noise prevention

firstly, your not a moron, its probably stuck in the socket. i reckon a little wd40 up the inner cable to the tach and a bit of time to seep in should do it. next time you put it back, put a little dab of coppaslip on it!

the only 2 stroke i can get is my bro's 49cc mobylette nothing planned that weekend, so may give it a go. looks like I'm not working the day of Lotherton, so weather permitting, I'm going to that

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!

pilot mixture controls the engine up to 4 k revs!! anticlockwise (out) enrichens the mix

leave Frank alone

pilot needs cleaning, check the pilot adjusting scerws tips havn't snapped off! you have a weak mixture

my friend

I'll second that

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?

check ebay for master cylinder rebuild kits. firstly, I'd strip the old one down to check the bore for corrosion btw to the YOC
