..why?

and are we talking canadian rz or us market with linked carbs?
yes they will work. yes they will fit. the jetting is TOTALLY wrong for a 400. they are 26mm while rd400 came with 28s.

thats it? the brass spigot? -very- slightly deform it, and use green loctite and press back into the carb body. :twocents:

I would be interested in the RZ carbs you have found if they have individual cable tops!

Cambridge ones are a good price.  May have to snap them up.
