hello anyone who may read this. just for interest i've fixed my xj 600. after repairing it !! it would not run. had sparks, fuel,correct timing,etc,but no running. the problem ended up being the digital ignitor (ecu). after changing this,for a second hand unit the bike ran very well, the problem seemed to be, the ignitor was only sparking at an ADVANCED setting. so if your bike will not start, and every thing seems fine, don't assume ( like me!! ) it's sparking at the right time. i hope somebody may find this usefull? till later.

good shout ! i'll try that over weekend,then,if still no joy,i'll take it apart and start agian.

can anyone help me please!!! i've just put the head, pistons and barrels from my running xj600 (grearbox has failed ) onto a replacement lower half ( good gearbox i hope?? ) but it's refusing to fire or run. the timing was set to the haynes manual, valve clearence is fine, good strong sparks, got fuel, but the best it will do is backfire sometimes ( mainly through the carbs ). is it possible to time it 180 degrees out ?? any good idea would be a help, i'm stuck!!
