The mark is under the contact breaker Cam which is bolted to the camshaft, visible in the last photo.
Ah I figured once I looked a little better that the contact breaker can be removed. Thanks for your help.The mark is under the contact breaker Cam which is bolted to the camshaft, visible in the last photo.
Thanks.You have bs/34 carbs.
Thanks for the clarification.No, those will work only with 80-82 sohc xs400 carbs. The 77-79 xs400 carbs have a smaller choke plunger/rod and boot. You would have to get one for those years. I would get the oem part number and google the part.

Valves clearance are in spec.Valves?
Clearances set?
That's prbly it.Clutch maybe for the kicker. Did you disassemble it at any time? I see you did. There are two arrows that need to line up with the basket and pressure plate. If you don't it will not work.
Turns out they were aligned. And the kicker still won't crank it.That's prbly it.
I thought of that before I put oil in but said nah I think I aligned them. In hindsight I should have double checked.
Going to check right now.
