    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rookie Carb Question

  • Thread starter Thread starter pnwesside31
  • Start date Start date
Another question........other than making sure the carbs are extra clean, and all the seals and gaskets are good, is there anything else to a "rebuild" or is there more?

Sounds like I need to do an extensive cleaning again. I really thought I took care of all that, but I'll give it another shot.

Do my connections sound correct?

Also, If all is clean including passages, I should be good to go right?:)

From what i can tell from that diagram..and again, im not terribly familiar with the 450's set up, I am just judging from the XS400 that ive worked on here at the house, and it used the same carbs, tho not QUITE the same set up:

The BOTTOM "T" is the FUEL INLET, so again, your fat fuel hose goes there. The line from the top of carb two on the MOTOR side of the carbs is the vac line i do believe, that plugs in to your petcock on the only barb that will fit. The TOP "T" i believe is the vent to air, and those hoses connect to NOTHING... Someone correct me if im wrong please, but im pretty sure thats how its set up...
 
Hey all, I'm back with no update and the same old story. I'm trying to ensure I have the right connections again since I went through the carbs 3 times and still the same thing. Does anyone out there have pics of all the carb connections? I know this is lame, but I'm sure there's just some stupid thing that I'm not doing right. Please help..........Thanks.:)
