I have a set from jc whittney. But they are loud.
They fit right inside the crossover without the bushing. No need to do anything to the carbs just pop them on and go.

I ended up taking them off because I don't want a loud bike.

I sell them if you are looking to buy.

    Look around for a Harley shop, either a dealer or custom shop. There are
(dumb) people who remove
the factory mufflers from Sportsters to install 'Screaming Eagle' muffler
systems. You should be
able to find a set in like new condition very reasonably.

Exactly!!  As I thought! The carbs installed on the bike when received were not originals but newer than the ones I bought from EBay

(and the new correct 24A OEM carb is presently installed on the bike now, with 105 jets)

 

My friend says that the carbs should be marked VB24A(1978)..For a 1979 they would be VB24B, for a 1980 VB24C etc.

 

So what year exactly is a 34A??,  the jets were 110, everything fits on the bike ok, it’s just the bikes settings I want to

confirm if I ever want to return to this older “newer “carb.

 

Thx  Roo

Ron:
The 78 CB400A came with carb model no. VB24A. I believe the "QB" and "PK" ref assembly and/or manufacturing location, but I'm not sure about this. I would have to say that what you bought on eBay is actually closer to the original than what was on your bike when you bought it. Here's some specs for the 78 CB400A Carb model VB24A:

Main Jet No.
Primary: 72
Secondary: 105
Initial Pilot Screw Opening: 1-3/4 turns out
Needle Jet Clip: Fixed
Float Level: 15.5mm (0.61 in.)
Idle Speed: 1250RPM (+/- 100RPM)

I particularly like the idle speed specs - 100RPM tolerance for us "by ear" adjusters!

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone,

The original twin carb on my CB400A had the number 34A*PK* stamped on it
The jet settings for the original carb is 1 3/4 turns, 105 size jets

I purchased an other twin carb on ebay supposedly for a CB400A and it looks almost the same except it has flat head set screws instead of thumb wheels for jet adjustments BUT the number stamped on the carb is 24A*QB*. This carb had 110 size jets

I have installed the new carb on the bike and it is running ok but is it the same jet settings (1 3/4)?
Is this a CB400A carb? It seems to run lean.

Is there a compassion chart for this out there with model numbers and jet settings?

Thanks,

Roo
