I'm pretty sure I blew something.. Well, I know I did. While trying to get these darn neutral and oil lights working on my new LED speedo, I screwed something up. While fiddling with wires I found I suddenly had no lights. Checked fuses and a couple were blown, replaced them and still not...

Just got another 78 xs400 the other day. Can someone explain the carb setup to me? The PO said he went through them and fixed them, but somehow i overlooked them and didnt ask why:shrug:. He has a splitter in the fuel line and has fuel going to both carbs. Also, there is no idle adjustment...

i'd like a pair of black ones!

Yep, thats what i did. turned it and got it to sit flat, bolted it down, tried to turn it over again and it kicks over once, then on the second kick, bam, it wont budge.

hey guys, i've run into a problem while putting my engine back together. When i was putting the cylinder head cover back on, it wouldn't go on flat. it would wiggle and teeter totter like there's something too tall inside. i'm pretty sure i put everything back together correctly. so after...
