You have bk2 luck...
Friend of mine just sold his '99 CA plated XR400 (up to a 440) with a pumper carb and some other goodies for $2K today. Bike was in great shape.Should have bought an xrRode mine over 100 miles this weekend
so i took the valve cover off to inspect if the timing jumped or not (it did) and i was going to shim the valves while it was down. To my complete amazement all the valves tested in spec. So now all i need is a woodruff key and about an hour to put it all back together. So there is a possibility to get her up and running today. I will be ordering a 04 starter idle gear and cover to prevent the problem from happining again though 
Well after tearing it apart at least 6 times i finally got it to work after makeing 3 different keys by sanding with plate glass and i used red loctite on the crank, flywheel, key, and nut and tourqed that fucker down with a pipe. It started right up like it did before but after i went on a short 10 min ride it has a hanging idle and a moderate oil leak out of the valve cover. Im hoping the idle is just a carb issue that was a coincidence and not a timing thing. But I have a soild 12 hours into this "simple" repair already
Which still leaves me with this statement,
Fuck 4 strokes

For some reason that woodruff key is not available anymore from yami :noclue: And it does have some slight "pop" to it. I will play with the fuel screw and see what it does. Out means more fuel on 4 pokes correct?
Yeah I think so.
more air
the starter idler gear, idler gear cover, needle bearing, and idler gear bushing
