I'm moving and haven't used these tools in a long time. Gunson Colortune plugs 12mm and 14mm. Also have the tool to hold damper rod in the fork...
@Roads Scholar I would be careful removing or gutting the fuel check valve. The purpose of this valve is to not let the residual fuel in the...
Even the original YICS tool rubber will start to melt if left in too long. You remove it in between runs to let it cool off a little between...
I bought a "cheap" ultrasonic cleaner, and it didn't do anything for me. Don't know about expensive ones. But I cleaned many sets of carbs...
Look closer at Simmy's last post. If you're running 15psi of boost with the original fuel pump, it explains your starvation, or at least it could....
If you want to know if it'll run, do a compression test. If the numbers are off, check the valves, adjust, then do another. That'll tell you if...
You don’t have to go “new” just a little more modern. And sure 200HP on a motorcycle gets a little silly, but 120 HP isn’t all that bad. Throw in...
This is normal with aftermarket springs. The spacer sticking up from the top cap just makes it a little trickier to thread properly, but reducing...
24V charging could ruin the battery. So you may have to replace it once the charging system is sorted. Depending on what voltage is getting to the...
Putting a spacer in the front shocks is for preload. It does not stiffen the suspension (although cutting the spring shorter, counter-intuitively,...
Sorry, I don't have any experience bypassing the starter circuit cut-off relay. Hopefully another member can help. I just did a whole lot of work...
No, white wire order doesn't matter. The resultant a/c current gets rectified the same way since they are 120 degrees out of phase.
Brown is your 12V fused power after the ignition switch. Basically it's the main 12V wire for the whole electrical system. It's an input to the...
I'm pretty sure that there is nothing compatible between the two that you'd want from a 650 turbo, except maybe trying to turbo the 900 (and since...
I don't see any mention you measuring the voltages in the charging system. I'd say it's time to get a voltmeter and start testing. I always...
For spray, I'd vote for Kroil unless you've already used it. Hard to tell if it's actually prevented me from breaking rusted/seized bolts, because...
hogfiddles is harsh, but he's right. Although "rarer" than the 82 Turbo Secas, the 83 Turbo Seca's aren't really sought after items. Now the...
That's the rubber seal on the piston in your package. It's shown as a separate part on the diagram, but it's already assembled in your new parts.
You’re in luck. I had the same problem 10 years ago and Bigfitz52 pointed me to speed and sport which has a bunch of NOS parts. Looks like they’re...
Simmy, 1/4 turn adjustments to idle are really too large. Rickomatic had a post long ago showing the sweet spot is the width of a dime (when...
So my setup (not saying you should do it) left the "green" line stock (i.e. running the port on intake #2 just to the boost sensor for the dash...
Sorry, I didn't read your previous post closely enough as to which setup you used. I see you tested it and showed that it would let air by at...
Simmy, did you try running the manual boost controller, in your current setup, with the dial screwed all the way in instead of out?
A cheap fuel pressure gauge works if you only want to use it diagnostically. However, unlike a boost gauge, you can't run it up to the dash (you...
This is incorrect for Turbo petcocks, which do indeed have an On-Off-Res (although I forget the order). You say you replaced the check valve. Was...
I think there are two kinds of manual boost controllers: Boost Controllers that bleed off air from the compressor before it gets to the...
Last chance. Any takers for remaining parts?
Mirrors, handlebar covers, TCI box, Yamaha emblem, turn signal stocks, battery post and cover gone.
I’ve got some left over parts that I’m tired of moving from house to house. Looking to give it away locally (Fairfax Virginia) out for cost of...
You are just letting in a bunch of air, which makes it run better because it burns some of the fuel that is flooding #4. This is not a solution....
I started my motorcycle mechanic journey on an XJ750 Seca, so there is definitely a lot you can learn and do, especially with all of the details...
Not to take anything away from your project, which looks fantastic, but my experience with the Turbo Seca is that the lower compression ratio and...
And it's pretty likely that the seals degrade or it gets gummed up in an open or closed position. Also, if the fuel pressure regulator isn't...
@Minimulty Yamaha specifically added the power up kit to increase boost to 12 psi. Fuel pump outputs 14 psi. I ran mine at 11 psi with a manual...
I meant no offense by that, just trying to be blunt. There are folks on this site who have done a “from scratch” turbo-ing of an XJ, but it’s a...
To add philosophically to what Simmy said above, there are basically two distinct ways to turbo an XJ depending on two very distinct types of...
So if by secondary circuit, you mean the "main" circuit, then no, at 70 mph the pilot circuit (in all its glory) has a minimal impact. Given the...
So you mention accel jets in a Dellorto carb, are those slide carbs or CV carbs? I know from my Harley Super E carbs that they have an accelerator...
I sense that minimutly is having some specific problems with his carbs. I think it might be helpful to know what those are. I'm sure everyone on...
There are some good cutaway pics that show the idle mixture screw and circuits:...
Wes just joined today, so I’d take that with a grain of salt (i.e. he just joined to troll). However, it’s clear that long time members on this...
Chacal, that “narrative” doesn’t reflect Einstein’s thought experiments at all and it’s completely useless. We’re not talking about physics, but...
Super glad to help! That issue literally took me two years to diagnose, so you’re doing better than me!
Let me explain this to you k-moe. Back when the infection started and was growing exponentially, epidemiologists were warning of the exponential...
A lot more states than Georgia voted to get rid of Trump, and millions more people too. Enough to win the electoral college AND the popular vote....
If we're being honest, you shouldn't be in the checkout line, you should be refused at the door if you don't have a mask. Will you politely walk...
To add what has already been said, what’s wrong with a reminder of the epidemic at hand? You can’t SEE COVID, so masks reminding you that social...
And here comes the wall of text that makes a whole lot of claims with no evidence. That returns us to the FACT of no evidence of widespread voter...
2000 the recount was crucial to the election and was decided by 500 votes. That is the purpose of the recount. For 2016, what date did Hillary...
