liquidcooled Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Bit of an odd one tbh. You said that you checked the carbs before didn't you Alan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcooled Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Original pipes? Could do with an aftermarket probably, but depends how long you're planning to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcooled Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 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 :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
