Posted July 23, 200420 yr the xj600(pre divvie model) i have is a bit of a pain in the rs to start when hot eg. riding round town in traffic. when cold it starts up in an instant but then once warm you have to turn it over a good bit till it fires, any ideas would be appreciated
July 23, 200420 yr Author 8) :roll: i try not to mate, has to be done sometimes though, just wondering if there's a fixable reason behind this :?
July 23, 200420 yr Bit of an odd one tbh. You said that you checked the carbs before didn't you Alan?
July 23, 200420 yr Author yeah pete, fully cleaned, rebuilt, balanced. it seems to be running rich still though :? it's all at factory settings. wonder if the exhaust has got choked up with it sitting for ages before i got it, 15k miles in 15 years aint alot :shock:
July 23, 200420 yr Original pipes? Could do with an aftermarket probably, but depends how long you're planning to keep it.
July 23, 200420 yr Author yeah see i had thought about getting new stainless pipes for it, but tbh i'm planning on trading it in within the next 6 months so not really worth it :?
July 24, 200420 yr Moderator Alan......My XJ's have always done that too :? .......not sure why really TBH....'bout the only time I don't like to ride is when it's bloody Hot.......like it has been here the past few days.......39+c :shock:
