Y'all I'm working on a 1979 CM400T that hasn't ran in 10+ years. The left bowl revealed a needle valve that had to be pried out with a screw driver. The rest is similar.... I got it running after the first carb parts order.. a set of air shut off diaphragms. But, only the left cyl will idle. Both run on choke and about 5K... but only the left on idle. So, i ordered a full carb kit with floats that did not come with idle jets. Couldn't get the right idle jet out anyway... still doesn't idle on right cyl. it does start to sputter at 2K. I need help. and maybe a carb bank. thank for the responses!

LDR is the guy for these carbs and bike model, he's on the west coast so he'll be along later. Here is what you'll probably end up doing, all the necessary details are in it.

Idle jets can be removed using a 4-40 machine screw. Tap the jet, add a nut and washer to the screw. Run the screw in as far as it goes, tighten the nut down so the screw is acting as a puller.
