XS250 starting problems
so you have the 250 carbs then. you need to confirm that they have the 250 jets in. I never trust garage mechanics tbh, its not their bike and usually give those jobs to the "Saturday boy" you shouldn't need to prime the carbs, its on a vacuum tap which lets the fuel flow. check that fuel does flow if you need to do this, could be partially blocked. make sure you have an inline fuel filter too

XS250 starting problems
are the carbs' choke a lever or a pull to operate? I assume it eventually starts but how? fires on 1 cyl and then 2 chimes in or does it get straight to it? I'd suggest looking at your timing first, that's clean contacts, contacts gap, take off left cover and find LF to check ignition timing. (even better use a strobe) and check RF timing if the bike has had a 400 barrel and head on, the carbs will have had the mains and pilot jets increased so you need to check if they have the correct ones for the 120 and also check the needle position and type. that'll do for starters

VJMC Bhurtpore Inn show 2nd August
Had a great day out with Tommy XS. There was quality bikes on show and lots of them. Food great and very friendly peeps there. Met a few guys off aircooled forum and the RDLC forum too. Tommy chatted up a dog pace bike for cyclists talked to the organiser and he brought this one for Lassy

Fz600 Gulf
its called VHT (very high temperature) Paint the crinkle finish paint is from Frost £10 and I recommend PJ1 off ebay, its expensive but is the best finish out of all the paints and doesn't need a primer. bake it afterwards (or run engine) to cure it.

Fz600 Gulf
well its more or less done, engine turns over and electrics seem to work. couldn't really do that much today as it persisted it down. So next job is to prime the engine, run a temp fuel line and fire her up/balance the carbs need to relocate the horn and do a bit of snagging and then tax her and MOT is due end August.

Airhead you lucky bugger..
tend to either through straight through Manchester or hit the motorway for a short while. cheshire is best, straight down the A57 over warburton bridge into cheshire and then you have Wales, Shropshire etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk_puqvNjqU#t=96 live not far from the swingbridge
