I bought a CB400ti that had some bad gas in it. The tank has been cleaned and so have the carbs. I have also rebuilt both carbs but they have the stock needles in them. I can only get it to run on starting fluid. The bike fires first kick and idles until the fluid is gone. gas is getting to the carbs and the bowls are full. the floats didn't leak.
Sounds like they may still be plugged up. Pull the jets and make sure you can see daylight through all of the holes. The high E string on a guitar makes an excellent cleaning tool, if needed.
Thanks for the input all. I can see through all of them now but, I will give them another clean. Anyone have any leads on where I can get a more complete rebuild kit (diaphragms, etc..) The few I've found and the one I bought were just o-rings and a new needle.
I've not heard this one before? My understanding is that most aluminum blocked engines are still steel sleeved. Furthermore, aluminum is a better material for transfer of heat than the ferrous options. Any place I can look at this in closer detail?
