Hey I'm just wondering but I live in your area and I see you ride on those trails and little off road bits and I was wondering if those are ok to ride on or if I have to ask the owner of the land if I could ride on them or if they are just ok to ride on.

Big plug on bottom of bowl is for main jet change. Out in the field or on the track. When applicable can just loosen carb up on machine and rotate to get to it and boom Nascar style main jet change.

@MM_in_Havasu 3 года назад

Good job, runs great! Keep up the cool videos! Link arm set is still available if you order it for a later trx400 carb, costs 38 bucks thru Partzilla. It has that little spring in it. Oh, and turn your idle speed down, it idles too high when warmed up.

@BitcoinYooper 3 года назад

Link arm shaft spring is what that is called that failed. Lol Ida bought a Chinese carb for $40 and robbed the part off it. In the factory service manual it does come apart. Of course can't just buy the spring through Honda, it was sold as a link arm kit no long available. I have a mix of Chinese parts on my oem Keihin carb on my 400 worked great. Was only missing few bits here and there. Never could get the Chinese carb to jet right.

@backyardrestorations 3 года назад

Why not replace the spring and save $234 ;-;

@davidblum_ 3 года назад

or he couldve bought a good rebuild kit for 40$ smh

@2vintage 3 года назад

By the time you order all the parts for the carburetor and replace them all, it pretty much adds up to $230. Plus what of the spring and lever didn't fix it? Then you would have to buy a new carb anyway. Also, the customer was able to sell the old carburetor for parts and make some money back.

@benmiller5015 3 года назад

He did go through the old carb in the last video. To me the dummy move was not fixing the old carb instead of spending$230 on a carb from Honda. Coulda saved the owner a ton of money. Now the owner just had to pay prolly $600 or $700 repair bill for a carb replacement

@grandpa-of-3898 3 года назад

That would of been a easier fix and a lot cheaper One for sure to just do a clean out properly going to keep the old carburetor and put it on his I've heard it done before maybe the customer just said to put a new one on it but I hope the customer watches and reads comments

@@grandpa-of-3898 we've all seen Joe jb weld a hole in a head on a quad he was flipping instead of replacing the head to maximize his profits but when it's someone else's money he's like yep $230 carb is the only solution. Surely the owner had to be like so my carb has a bad spring, can you replace the spring? At which point joe would have had to either say yeah but..... Or no because..... in order to justify a new carb

It would be a lot different if it was a piece of crap he bought and just to get it running but it's another thing if he's going to sale it or in this case fix it for a custom just isn't right like I said I hope the customer is reading this and yeah the JB weld on the head lmfao that got me laughing so hard

@cheto2952 3 года назад

Go back to the original main on the carb its breaking up a little on the top end. Never mess with factory settings because of personal beliefs. If it's factory keep it factory. Not hitting rev limiter is starving for fuel in to end

Can't use factory setting with hot cam and aftermarket pipe.

Generally a backfire after a hard rev is a lean condition, your main jet is to lean most likely. As far as the post above. Signs to know your valves are out of whack it will be hard to start. It’s not your valves it’s a jetting issue

@2vintage 3 года назад

Yeah really check over the carb and make sure everything is working properly

@BitcoinYooper 3 года назад

Just take it apart like he show's in these last couple videos, and clean out your jets. Check make sure your tank has good flow as well. There's not much in a "rebuild" kit you need if it's not leaking fuel. Unless the jets are corroded and un cleanable then just clean r up. Save few bux. In stock form 400s are pretty choked up. Good uni filter and a slip on with a re-jet will have you wondering why you hadn't done it sooner. Take the accelerator cover off to check the diaphragm in there make sure it's not all dried out. That would definitely cause running issues.
