New guy - new bike
« on: March 19, 2016, 06:38:26 AM »
Hello everyone,

New guy here from MD. Grew up riding dirt bikes, but my '76 CB400F is my first street bike. Overall in good shape. Needs a little work (knock on wood). Has just over 17K mikes. Just pulled the carbs for a good clean - here's hoping I can get them back on the air box - any suggestions?

Thanks!

OCW85, get some JIS screwdrivers and put down your regular phillips. Saves from stripping out those stubborn Japanese fasteners with that little identifying dot on their head.
