CB400F Carb body
« on: August 16, 2011, 03:15:24 PM »
Help.  Does anyone have a spare carb body for a CB400F.  I'll say I snapped the slow jet off at the threads(not sure that PO hadn't over torqued it, but whatever).  Tried the smallest ez out I could get, but it did not work so now I'm in need of a carb body.  If someone has one they'd be willing to sell please let me know.  Thanks.

I'm going to have a full set of CB400f carbs for sale soon but they aren't gonna be the cheap option, as they are completely cleaned, polished, and rebuilt and fully operational.  Currently, they are on my bike, but I'm having another set modified that I'm going to be using soon.

I think your best option is a junkyard or ebay.  A good tip is to look for CB350f carbs, as the bodies are the same and demand is a bit lower.  there are a few sets of each on Ebay right now.

Try drilling out what is left with a bit slightly smaller than the broken piece. Then use a pick to get out the rest of the jet. Worth a shot...Larry

I purchased a complete set of carbs from someone and then 30 minutes later someone offered me a carb body so I purchased that as well.  I'm going to clean up mine and mount on my bike and then clean up the others an repost since I don't need them anymore.  Thanks for the responses though.
