    Hi again, please see photos......the holes on the carbs inlet, where the rubber boot on the filter fits over, were the holes I was talking about previously being fouled, the rubber boot filter neck covers the holes when assembled in place, they obviously aren't able to breathe & do what they're...

    Hi Kitchi - No sorry I haven't explained very well, what I meant by fouled was, the filters are blocking some holes on the inside of the carb I am assuming, my mechanic guy has the bike a the moment & this is what he has said. I am going round tonight to see for myself, as I have never seen a...

    Thanks again CaptChrome for the feedback. I had heard before about pod filters being a pain & not being easy to jet/tune easily, the shorty pipes as you said won't help either. As you say I will get the easy stuff checked first, but I have a feeling your hunch about the carbs will be right.

    Thankyou for the welcome. Thanks for all the suggestions, it doesn't smoke but that's the only thing in the list that's definite.

    Hi all, Need help, my 1982 xs400 has very little power, I think a 50cc would beat me off the line & it is just gutless, it starts fine & ticks over no problem, had the carbs cleaned, new plugs, new leads, new rec/reg, it's with my local bike mechanic but I think he needs ideas......any...
