    Hanging Revs Issue! Revs decrease slowly. Help!

    Just a thought, I had a similar issue because one of the vacuum ports on the boots where the carbs mount to the engine wasn't plugged. Make sure those are sealed or else your air-fuel mix will be all messed up in that cylinder.

    New turn signals wont flash, just stay solid.

    Assuming that the 27 watts is important to the function of the relay, I believe that the installation of a resistor in parallel with the blinkers would work.

    Quarantine Project: '81 XS400 Special

    Thanks Chris. I will take a look at those floats again today. I was using the "Haynes XS400" service manual and set the floats and jets according to that. I noticed that the supplemental manual for the "XS 400 H, SH" had some discrepancies so I will use that on going forward. Thanks for the...

    Quarantine Project: '81 XS400 Special

    I recently have started working on my uncle's/dad's XS400, my first motorcycle project. I have worked with QT50's and other small mopeds in the past, but nothing this size. The bike hasn't been ridden seriously since the '90s as far as I know, although it has ran a few times since then. Today I...
