Hi all,

Have a 1993 GSF400 Bandit, have a carb problem and need to get a replacement set, does anyone have any ideas as to what other bikes these fit on.

Might give me more of a chance of fing a set, or maybe someone on here could point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Mal

Firstly - are you sure you need a new set? What's the problem with them? Have they been cleaned and reassembled properly? Are the inlet rubber and airbox rubbers in good condition?

If you're adament you need replacement carbs then you could have a look at the gixxer 400 carbs, as they share the same engine (although the bandit is detuned). The gixxer carbs may be different because of that, but worth a try?

Hi,

Have a mate who is very good with bike, he has cleaned and cleaned the carbs. He says it would be cheaper to get another set of carbs then try to refurb the old ones. Not very mechanically minded so do not know what is technically wrong.

Bike will not idle properly, when you ride it it is not smooth power delivery, it seems like when you have a fuel blockage, cuts out when you stop. He has checked and cleaned everything.

Have you cleaned the tank, fuel filters, and made sure the tank cap breather works? Have you made sure the choke is not stuck/sticking on?

Sitting in my garage is a full bank of blandit 400 carbs from a '90 (only different is yours is VVT i take it?). Currently fitted with a restrictor kit.

In full working order, not the cleanest as you can expect from a set of 18 year old carbs.

PM me if your interested Razz

Matt
