Hi guys. After I had the carbs rebuilt, replaced a plugged petcock, cleaned the tank, and bought new insulators for my '81 400A I thought I'd be all ready to go.
But it ran like * and turns out a spray test revealed that the new insulators with new O rings are leaking at both the head and the carbs! WTH I followed a link to a place in Japan called cruzinimage someone here suggested recently, tho don't remember what thread. They seemed to fit fine and were supposed to fit '78 to '82 400A's. Anyone know this firm? Also perhaps a better source for another pair? Might be some other problems with the poor running but got to get those leaks fixed before anything else. Maybe a temp fix with a bunch of silicone? Not I was hoping to get this on the road before the snow flies. New plugs, battery, 14 + volts at the battery with some revs. Thanks for any input. Cheers, Ron
