need to strip the carb down (separatly) and if you can, use an ultrasonic bath. don't use lemon juice as it will blacken the alloy and left long enough, will corrode it. you can clean the outside by using baking soda blaster check settings against spec. i'd use 26mm for float height the mains screw into the emulsion tube which when unscrewed( and the diaphram removed) will fall out. there is a location tab to stop them turnig when the main jet is tightened. use a carb cleaner and compressed air to clean drewps

always fancied that, but I'd need a bigger bike as I think the xs400 would complain too much LOL
-
exhaust sounds good
-
xs650 don't have shims, i think you mean xs750, 850 and 1100
-
give the oil press orafice a poke might be sludge in there!!
-
correct and it doesn't need to come off to remove the chain cover. if all the bolts are out a little tap with a rubber mallet should free it!! nice bike and have fun with the carbs. BTW we have a classic section you might want to post in as you will get a better response to your queries. I also posted a sticky there for xs stuff drewps
-
that does sound like the choke, but it shouldn't flip back, so it sounds like the little ball bearing and spring has been lost (it holds the choke bar in 3 postitons) hold it out with a clothes peg and then try and start it, then let it off when warm ed up I do like the look of the xs750's but the roadster version drewps
-
I think it will need a service. did the bike respond and tick over well when you last saw it running? BTW to the forum
-
its the same model, just different cc's
-
so that's what they get up to in Burnley!!
-
I'm in the UK so can't comment
-
none in Uk (there was but the proprietor died) try here for parts flat track stuff here might be worth restoring than modifing as there are not a lot of early bikes around drewps
-

-

to the forum hebrew H I had no probs fitting my f;at tracker seat to the frame, but had to cut off the rear frame rails. why not try and fit a guilari seat. that will fit straight on and looks cafe style they are made to fit the sohc and dohc models guilari seat
-
Aye, I think you will need different thickness shims too if its the dohc model. take your gaps first and see what you need.
-
they were selling them at Aldi not long back with a turtle shell back (presumbly for aero dynamics)
-
I assume it was via ebay? start the complaint process and you'll soon get a response. worked twice for me especially as ebay give out their phone number as part of the process and you do phone them!!

ATTENTION ALL ZIMBABWE/MOZAMBIQUE BORDER PATROL AGENTS Be on the lookout for a 1951 Chevy, red with white top - thought to be transporting illegal immigrants. .
-
as per my reply there is no kit, yer on yer own as this was the info off a bike that was on ebay. you should be able to get the pistons and get it rebored.
-
OMG!!
-
looks great, Boom is not far from me and £99 for 24 hours, can't beat it vroom vroom!!

you need to buy an optimate type charger, this will keep your battery in top condition. buying a glass mat battery (AKA gel) will pay off too drewps
