Beefy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I have an xt 550 1982 which is up and running but:- when you open it up it feels like its holding back and you get a back fire off it when you ease off had the carbs cleaned and checked had the valves checked some times it will run ok but the next time it is flat as shit any idea what to do next Cheers Beefy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
