Do you have a manual? I never start into a new project without 1 for easy reference on stuff like this.

I know the numbers can be hard to read on jets and I would suggest if you haven't got one already, get a magnifying glass. I used to try to wing it without and I finally gave up last year, what a difference it makes to have one. Mine is just a cheap hand held with two optics lens and a led lamp that really helps :twocents:

175 is the series type of the nozzle. There should also be a size of P-2 stamped on it too. That is the stock size for a 400 carb. Main jets should have a number on them too, if not, get some that do. About a 120 for a completely stock bike.

Thanks to all that pitched in to help. Just to clarify your concerns and advice.
I bought a nice manual that includes 76 to 79 RD400 models. Unfortunately the only spec list I looked for at the end of the manual, only had RD400 F specs. After your reply I tried harder and found an Appendices list that included all models. So, now I have the jet sizes I need, able to read it with a well used magnifying glass. LOL!!! Still, my big problem is I need 1 of the P-2 needle jets as the threads for the main jet are messed up. I'll check Niche and Yambits as they seem to be the only ones that might have one.
If a member here would have one for sale, I would definitely buy it.
Thanks for the usual concern and advice to a new member.

Niche Cycle on eBay has the 175 series P2 needle jets.  And they're located in Florida.

Look over the jet needles closely as well, if they're high mileage, the anodizing wears away and fueling profile changes drastically.  Niche has stock 5L1 jet needles too.

Thanks for the reply Andrew. Niche did not have it when I contacted them but Economy Cycles got me both things. They just arrived yesterday.
