    Front Drum Brake Breakdown

    Carb problems

    So iv been trying to start my bike and after a few unsuccessful tries I noticed a pool of fuel in the carb/air intake. Just wondering if this would be caused by the carb not being put together correctly or?

    1981 XS400 not turning over

    The kickstart wont stay in the vertical position there is something wrong with it. I can spin it all the way around it doesn't catch any where. And the clutch has no tension so I think I'll need to take the side panel off and play with it.
