i synced with gauges. they are within 1cmHg relative to each other

OK, so for the sake of contributing to the greater good, here is what I have accomplished so far. First and foremost, the XS400 (80-82) carbs will fit, and use the same throttle cable. The OD of the engine side of the carbs is the same as the XS360. The OD of the air filter side of the...

Thanks Wolfe, I shot a message over to xschris, hopefully i can snag these from him. Where exactly did you find the information indicating the 28s would be ideal? Is that in the Mikuni graph that has aperture diameter on left, and PS on bottom, http://www.mikuni.com/pdf/vmmanual.pdf...

SO THE QUESTION THEN IS... Does anyone out there know for sure the 400 carbs would fit, and be tunable? Or have or know of a place that can make or has 360 diaphragms (again JBM is out)? Would there be any specific year models of 400 carbs that wouldn't work, and i need to stay away from? ANY...

I sprayed them down with carb cleaner and put them back together when I first got the bike running, but it had this issue. I then completely disassembled them (besides the brass jets? which i was about to booger up trying to get them out, so I left them). Other than that I soaked everything in...

Got it fixed. I reassembled it clocking the diaphragm and spacer a couple different ways, and finally found one that got it working properly. Now on to my next issue... carbs causing rpms to hang up when rpms go over 2500.
