my carbs have the air/fuel mixture needle screws in a vertical position, not burried so you have to drill them out, just there, so you can adjust them. I have a set of carbs that came off another xs400, i think a 77, with the needles in a horizontal position, with small plastic stoppers on them. the choke set-up, or enricher knob dealio is also a bit different. Its also in the horizantal position. My question is will the wierdo carbs work and what would be a starting point for adjustment on them? the inside of the float bowls is also quite different. I just found out the my old needles tips are broken off, and I cant get them out!:thumbsup:

The carbs with the thumb choke look like what came with the xs360 I think they will fit a 400 but parts can be a bit hard to find. Maybe someone with a set will chime in with some info on that.
