Honda MC question
 

Hi there,

I know this isn't the motorcycle group, but I am looking for some general
info on how to tune the carbs on my 79 Honda CM400 Twin. 395CC engine, 5 spd
trannie.

I have searched the net up and down to no avail. I think my only option will
be to break down and try and find a manual at a decent price. So far no luck
on EBay.... There is a Clymer one, but I wouuld prefer an actual Honda
manual.

So what I am looking for is

A) Advice on how to tune up the carbs on this bike OR

B) Link to a website that shows diagrams and a step by step procedure on how
to do this.

The current symptoms include:

1. Brown smoke coming from the exhaust, indicating that the bike is
overfuelling and running very rich.
2. Intermittently runs on one cylinder, indicating overfueling and fouling
of one cylinder.
3. Gas occasional pours out of the overflow of both carbs, indicating a
problem with the floats or the fuel shut off valve.

Thanks for your input.
