Johnathan Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I just bought a 1996 XJ600 Seca II With 8,000 miles on it. When I got it it tried starting but wouldn't (carbs needed cleaned). Yesterday I spent all day very thoroughly cleaning the carbs, gas tank, petcock, blasted out all the fuel lines. I then reassembled it and tried to start it, I had to try cranking it for almost 20 minutes before finally it started. I rode it about 80 miles last night then parked it. This morning I go out to get on it and it wont start, Ive checked the ignition system and I have good spark on all 4 plugs. Tried jumping it off (in case the brand new battery was weak), didn't help. I definitely have fuel being pumped from the tank into the carbs and its definitely getting to the engine (At one point I pulled the plugs out and they were wet with gas. I have at least some compression on each cylinder (finger over the hole test). The air filter is clean. The bike has a vance and hines 4 to 1 pipe and slip on, I am unsure if it has been jetted for it or if the previous owner just put it on. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank You Johnathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
