Hello All, I am new to this forum. I recently purchased a 1981 CM400E to rebuild. The bike runs but the carbs leak a lot of gas as soon as the gas switch valve is turned to
"run" or "res." Because of this issue, the carbs became my first project.
The carburetor is a VB 22R A UK. When I took the carbs apart, I noticed only one of the three jet holders had a jet in it. The one jet in the carb was a 120. The rubber plug and the 78 jet was missing. Interestingly, the jet holder for the 78 jet isn't threaded. I'm not sure if the holders are supposed to be empty or if someone else took these apart and forgot to replace the missing jet and plug. Both the left and right side are missing the plug and jet.
Are there supposed to be rubber plugs in both? Why is the jet holder for the 78 jet not threaded?
Any advice is welcomed.
