    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Calling all 77 gs400 owners

What have you done to replace your carb intake boots? I've searched relentlessly and I cannot find any answer or a part store that has the boot for this bike. The 77 gs400 is the only bike that I can see that used the bs34 carbs. From my research, there are boots available for the gs34ss... I'm just hoping I can get a clear cut, "I bought this and it worked perfectly" response.

so with no response to my lazy question, I went ahead and began disassembling the carbs and took the intake boot out. To my surprise, not like the diagram on any website for parts, my boots have o-rings, completely flattened ones... After I order new boots, I'll put up the part number that fit in case there's some other 77 gs400 owner with a similar question.

here's a pic of the o-ring


here's a picture of a gasket that's doing nothing
 
cycleorings.com for the carb oring kits and the intake manifold orings. Measure the ID of the intake orings and let Robert know so he sends the right ones.
 
I emailed Robert earlier today. Having a 400, he said he had a kit for a 450 that would work for the carbs, just waiting to hear back from him on how to order that kit.
 
Hold off on getting new intake manifolds for a few days. I got info from the Honda CXB forum that Glycerine will make hard rubber pliable again. I got some and tomorrow a manifold is going in the dip.

Giving it 24 hrs then see what its like. I will make a report thread in a day or two.
 
It's too late for me... I already ordered the boots... but I'm definitely interested in your results
