Throttle slide adjustment CB400F
« on: November 07, 2012, 02:26:33 PM »
No directions in the original manual or the aftermarket ones either.  I've had the whole rack apart for cleaning, and of course the slides are way out of adjustment.  Do you leave them bottomed? Or slightly open? How far?  Measured from engine side or airbox side?
Thanks folks.
Cheers
Carl

It is called synchronizing, sometimes referred to as syncing or a carb sync. There's plenty on here about it.

Yup.  Found the video thanks.  Be nice to know where to set them when you start from scratch, otherwise its a non-starter.
