Rd400F Daytona

[SoCal250]

Is this accurate information? Seems a bit light for head torque.

RD400F

Cylinder head nut torque: First:  1.0 m-kg (7.2 ft-lbs.) Final:  2.0 m-kg (14.5 ft-lbs.)

Yes, that is correct.

Point gap: 0.30~0.40 mm
Timing should be set to about 2.0 mm BTDC (Stock setting is 2.4 mm BTDC +/-0.15)

Revvy in the house.  i need to hear another backfire while cruising the strip in San Jo bro.  :)

Victricity!  R5 carbs worked on my daytona.

I think i was at a 230 main, 169-p2, 5DP7-5, 30 pilot between 1/2 and 1.0 turns...I don't think it had to be modified for a 2.0 airjet, since it was pre smog, but Mark can confirm.  been awhile.  Maybe as high as a 35 pilot.

good luck.

Don't remember if i had to change the brass fittings ont he top fo carbs, also bought a premix only cable.   32:1 was what i was running w/ spec II pipes, uni filter banshee crossover and intakes.

I think these new VM carbs have smaller slides...hmm.  a little more restrictive?

oh sit.  I have RB Design carbs new still in box w/ divider plate, but i need money anyone interested?  These are the new VM's modified for an RD, Ron doesn't make them AFAIK anymore...Don't ask me how to jet them...*uck if i know.

Good luck w/ those.  It looks like you bought PWK30s? is that right?....if so, you probably did good as the larger PWKs also have a larger selection of needles vs. the 28s...that's a GOOD thing.  I think when i was tinkering w/ PWK28s i had the timing backwards (my understanding  at that time), so not much success jetting at that time, obviously.

That B.O.C. concert up at Muckleshoot was cancelled, Buck (guitarist) got sick w/ pneumonia.  Will be going back Jan. 27th as it was recscheduled. 

I be chillin' 3 day weekends this week and the 2 after that.  Had to use my floating holidays up before i LOSE when the New year comes in.
