I remember you asking me that before about the timing, I did adjust it back one tooth and foreword to.check and it did run worse when I moved it so I know the cam timing is set. I don't have the compression numbers, but I will soon. I broke down and took her to someone who knows there shit. I'm...

I did check my carbs yesterday. I adjusted the floats so there's less fuel in the bowls and all it did was bog the engine down bad. Felt like I was pulling a trailer

You've all been very helpfull with my 400f build. Its complete now but I'm still having the same problem as before. I'm at my wits ends. I've had the engine bored to a 466. Before the rebuild the bike ran great, no smoke just a siezed cam chain tensioner. I had it jetted perfect then BOOM. after...

I don't have an aftermarket cam. I wasn't award that I needed one! I'm going to check the timing here soon. Any tips on this process??

Re: Re: 400F carb setup with pods filters? Haha thanks for the help. I'm not to savvy at dialing in the timing. But I do have the electronic ignition rolled counter clockwise to the end of the adjustment?

Funny I just looked at my first post on this thred and my bike was running great. Now after the rebuild and the 466 kit I have had no luck with getting her running good. I have the stock jets back in the bike and its running fat as hell. If I ride thru the city for to long it loads up and I know...

I prefer ky on my shaft...

I took my 400f apart because the tensioner was siezed. All I did was take the flanking bolt out from the case and the adjuster and put a wratchet extension on the bottom piece, gave it a good tap and she broke free. No problems since :) By "bottom piece" I mean I tore the engine down and had...

Ill be changing it this week! Let me know if you got any more questions Ronnie I know these motors inside and out! I just picked up a 1974 suzuki gt185 pretty stoked

I been riding the Shit out of mine. Seems to love it!

How long does one of these motors take to wear in typicialy? Mine has about 300 after rebuild and its just now getting smooth

I've been on this forum for a while now, bothern all the 1000+ posters for answers so I figures it was time to explain myself alil bit. My history consists of nothing but Dirtbikes. I'm a 3rd gen racer, turned pro 3 years ago and haven't looked back I work a lot. I have a ton of visible tattoos...

Notes taken!

I have the marks lined up flat with the head. But the marks could be wrong. What direction would I adjust it towards or backwords to test it. And how many teeth before I run into hanging valves?

I been rucking with this bike for a week now and I am baffled. I've checked timing, carbs, compression, spark, all that stuff and I am still getting unburnt fuel. I can collect soot on my hand when I rev it up. It never ran like this before the rebuild. I'm baffled. No idea what I'm missing. I...

Come on people don't be shy

So I've got the stock 400f jets in my carbs as of yesterday and my bike still runs fat. But I have found something that might be making it run shitty. The o-rings on my main jets are hammered. And when I take the jets out the long brass piece that the needle slides into falls out freely. Could I...

Ya I was in your shoes about 2 months ago. I ate fuckin off brand cherrios for along time to afford the bore job. Funny how these bikes cost 400 bucks for the whole thing but end up costing 3 times to fix em! I love my Cb though. Wouldn't trade if for anything. Building her has taught me tons.

It will add up fast but you get what you pay for with them. Plus they are the best. No mistakes and top notch work. If your machinest is a thousandth off on one jug your crank is hammered. I understand taking a twin or a single to the Joe machinest but the reason I'm pushing la sleeve is because...

Hey thanks for your help guys I been tweaking on it a little every day.
