Hi all, My name is Alex and I'm from Boston Massachusetts. I just purchased a CB400F found under a bunch of junk in a local motorcycle shop for $900. It doesn't run, but seems in rather sound condition, should be a fun project. A picture of the bike is attached below. My original intention was to turn it into a cafe racer immediately, but after seeing how nice the bike is in stock form I may decide to gradually transform it instead.
The bike has a broken petcock, dented tank, stuck fuel cap, seized brakes, and a missing point plate, point cover, and headlight. So far I have replace the point plate and point cover, and am now disassembling the carbs. I have some riding experience, but no mechanical experience with motorcycles, I have only worked on cars. It should be a steep learning curve, but I figure it's rewarding to learn on an ongoing project. That being said, I have heard there is a very extensive carb disassembly tutorial online which would be extremely useful. Would anybody know what tutorial this is or where to find it? I look forward to updating with progress.
Thanks,
Alex
