Japanese Bikes / 1976 Honda 400 4 leaking carbs via float valve o ring seal
« on: June 11, 2011, 03:02:05 PM »
Hello All
I got a 400 4.
It's been standing a good while but starts..and idles.. but leaking petrol out the carbs overflow pipe. Now attempting to sort out leaking carbs on my 400. Took the carbs out..It's the o rings on the float valve. Dried out and perished. 4 replacement kits runs to £50 for the whole float valve assembly.....only need 4 o rings!!
I've been trying shops and wandering into local garages looking hopeful but to no avail and no leads.
Has anyone any idea where I can purchase just the o rings?
Thanks
