1980 xs 400 special. The little screws that hold the odometer plate in place fell out and plate twisted. How do I get to them? Tx alot, have a great day!

A place called Wisonsin Cycle Salvage. Its cyclesalvage.net. They carry alot of xs400s. All parts come off of working bikes. They will allow returns on everthing but electronic parts. Very good to deal with. Carbs are from 100-200 dollars tho! Good luck

Tx to everyone for all of their help. I got it running last night. Have a great day!

I just noticed that you live in Ofallon, Mo. So do I. Where about do you live? Do you still have your xs400? Have to get together sometime. Hve a great day!

Looks like I missed the starter jets. Are they under the diaphragm? If so, then I didn't even look at them. How do they come out? Tx for all of your advice, hav ea great day!

I couldn't figure out how to get them out after I removed the screw. So I sprayed carb cleaner in the opening. Do you think that will be alright. Tx alot, have a great day!

Can anyone tell me if it will be OK to soak the jets in brake cleaner?
