They were working great, I think there is just some debri in the inlet chamber blocking the float needle from going all the way up... I like the round slides though, especially on the xs motors. I ran them on my 650 as well. And at the time I did find some on eBay and ordered them and they came...

Because the stock ones somehow developed a crack in the carb body and I couldn’t find any on eBay that weren’t in terrible condition...soooo gotta do what ya gotta do...

Yeah it wa brand new plugs, I think I figured it out, it’s a brand new vm30 carbs and I think it’s a faulty float needle and seat. I think it’s clogged so the bowl isn’t filling with gas

so, I have a 1980 xs400. I basically just had the rolling chassis so I just built a little chopper out of it. I rode it for a while, a charging issue popped up so I set it to the side and built up my xs650 and road that. So I finally sold it and here is where all the issues started. I went ahead...

im wondering the same question, i got some mikuni vm 34s for my 650 but im going a different route for it so was just going to throw the 34s on my 400, but was curious how it runs and jetting as well. (not trying to hijack a thread haha)

Reg and rectifier are brand new. Wiring has been redone. But not inside the stator/rotor... Which yes is highly probable... But still, if I'm breaking it open and rewiring I'd like to go ahead and put new components in it... Which brings me back to my question, do they make new ones or any that...

Ok, this is a good start for the rewording part. But I'm just curious... Is there any place that sells just a new stator and rotor for the xs400?? I have a 1980 with tci ignition... And of course. The charging system sucks... And I don't want to just keep replacing the used bad stuff wih more...

Thank you!!!!!! I will read up on those and see what's up!

ok so wouldnt a capacitor help with these spikes? and also, if nobody they suck then why are there so many 650s running flawlessly with them? and then also my ironhead has magneto points. but thats a different beast. my point is, they work. they work well with a 650. why cant they work well with...

my ride is only 15 minutes tops. and i figured i should be able to run a smaller battery. but that didnt turn out so well. and its a new reg/rec i have on it so i figure the only thing it COULD be is the stator...

I mean I'm up for anything really, I tried downsizing the battery like that other thread says and it just drained it in a matter of a few days. And sk I bought a new one and it seems to just drop voltage wise daily little by little since I can't get a full charge going on... Should I just...

Ok so what about a capacitor? I have no turn signals so that doesn't matter... And my bike already doms with lower RPMS because it sucks everything from the battery and doesn't replace it. All I do is go to work and back in it as a daily commute and if there is time I go on a joy ride here and...

Yeah. That's the thread I was referring to, It just wasn't clear on the exact parts he bought and nobody has responded in that comment yet so I'm just trying to figure out what exactly needs to be ordered, Nd the machine work isn't a problem. But now I'm curious on what the cons of this mod...

I'm Just trying to understand the cons if I've already got everything absolutely barebones and it shouldn't have a problem keeping up...

How would it be crappy? Just curious... I have a kick only bike with very minimal electrics... So what would be so crappy about it if I don't have to deal with draining a battery constantly and draining my account for the batteries... I'm just curious as to what is not good about it? And I see...

Anybody have any idea?

yeah it had to have been the battery. it was a smaller gel type that i used just because i had to downsize because the gel one in the same size i had as the acid kind was wider and wouldnt fit in my box. so i downsized and it worked fine for a few days then shit the bed, and i knew it was a...

ok, i read this whole thing and got the gist and really want to do this mod because batteries suck the butts. and mine is kick only with led tail light and small head light so i dont consume a lot anyways. so my question is this.. the parts list is the hughes rectifier, a banshee flywheel, and a...

Ok, blew out the carbs and fuel line and so it rules out that. I have not looked at the spark plugs yet, I'm assuming this new battery I bought a couple days ago is just to small. Is that a thing? I mean I literally only have two small lights on my bike and it's kick only... So I'm not using...

So it's definitely battery related... I put it on a tender and it kicked over fine and idled fine...and so I'm wondering if it's hanging related... Would that just be the stator? What is all entailed in the charging sytem for a 1980 xs400?
