Where could I find just part of the carb arm link for a CB400F?
« on: October 17, 2015, 01:36:02 PM »
I've been working on my '75 CB400F carbs under the advice of wiser board members (see previous posts). I was reassembling the carb and I couldn't find a little metal bit with concave ends that sits between the spring on the slide arm and the ball joint of the carb arm linkage. I can't seem to find a replacement part anywhere (4into1, DSS, etc.). Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find one, and if one can't be found, are there any alternatives? Thanks!

I have a spare set of 350F carbies & I've sent a few members small bits for free.  Post some photos & I'll see what I can do...

Here's some picture of the part in question. Is there a better way of describing this part?
