CB400f carby insulator difference
« on: May 30, 2014, 03:54:21 AM »
G'day everyone,
I am just in the middle of making my first big order and was wondering if anyone knows the difference between the carby insulator 'A' and insulator 'B' as they all look the same to me. My parts manual gives me 2 different part numbers for the 4 of them. 
P/N 16212-333-030 & 16213-333-030.
 
Thanks in advance, JP.

JP ; They are probably like cb750 insulators. 2 (of same pt#) will be for carbs 1-4 and 2 (of same pt#) will be for 2-3. It's because of the angle they need to line up with to make the connection between carbs and head. Apparently 16212-333-030 goes on 1 & 4 while 16213-333-030 go on 2 & 3. I just going by what someone posted here, http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=134666.0  . Hope this helps.    ...cougar...

Thanks Cougar, I just read that post you linked for me, it makes sense now. I was only wondering about them as David Silver Spares has them for something like $27 ea or $55 for all 4(less than half price) but it doesn't say if that is 2 x 'A' & 2 x 'B'..
Anyway cheers for that mate.
I will email DSS and them about it.
