1984 WR400 help

I have the downloaded 86 2t manual if it's any help?

I have 84 all parts and 84 lc parts and the 81 to 88 tech data but no manual for the lc in 84. the 86 manual should be ok for timing etc

Was there much difference between 84 and 86 motors JC?

I dont believe so but smarter people than me can assist your enquiry better..wait, the clutch was very different.

Clutch cover has an extra bolt cause they used to break above the kickstarter.

ya, they dont work anymore. but i saved a handful of them when they worked... however the closest there was to an 84 2T was the 86 2T. looks like i can buy one online for about $25US. seems silly just to find the timing though.

cool, well im going to go with 2 mm BTDC. will update how it works, hoping to do it soon

Use Google Archive you might be able to find some files archived from years gone by. I did it for Cafe Husky but could only find files from 2012 and not all of them were there. I dont recall seeing the 84 manual.

PM me your email address and I'll either send you the entire manual or whatever parts of it you need.

SWEET!! PM coming now

go back to my rebuild thread, I rekon I asked and had answered the very question on timing.

all very good as a suggestion but I cant find it...

Hey guys. Been busy lately, but got the indicator in it today.

1.5mm is equal to about .060 inches

So I found tdc, went back .060 inches, and it seemed to be right on the money already.

Advice welcome

I believe timing should be 2.2-1.8mm but you will not hurt anything by starting at 1.5mm and working your way to more advance.

leaving it a tad retarded is the go, it will start by waving your foot at it. if you find you are wringing its neck looking for more power, advance it up and kick it harder.

thanks guys.

im more so looking for stock power. i dont think i have it but im close. i think you guys saw the video of it running a little bit back, and someone mentioned it sounded to retarded, and another mentioned 4 stroking.

ill try it at 1.8mm (.070") this weekend and will be test riding on fathers day

On the SEM ign. Proper way to set timing is.
Find TDC then the pointer on the flywheel should be pointing at 17 degrees on the stator unit.
Later George

thanks george ill try it!!

i noticed the other day that my front axle nut was missing..... mustve fallen out on the trails last ride.... scary!

would anybody know the thread of this? im assuming its metric right? m16 fine thread? m16 x 1.5? no local stores have it. im trying mcmaster. thanks guys
