just bought a seca and it is acting weird.

Hey guys.

I am a friend of cole.azare. As a matter of fact It's my SECA that he is poaching parts from as we speak.

The carbs he has on his bike right now are fit as a fiddle. I know this because I serviced them myself with the help of you guys here at XJbikes, and then testing them by riding that bike from Pennsylvania to California.

Anyway, I know exactly what Rick-O-Matic is talking about. From what cole.azare says, it might not exactly be the case, but I'll be at his place later today and we'll have a look at it. If Rick-O-Matic is right, then we have an easy fix on our hands!

We'll keep y'all posted.

EDIT: I just wanted to touch on what Parts said. One of the first things I did when I bought my Seca was swap my factory bars to motocross bars. The same thing happened. The throttle HOWLED as soon as I started the bike, and I had to fiddle with the cable position. We'll be sure to check that too,

 

Capturing the Throttle Cable Hook-up under the Head is common.

Having Intake Clamp on Upside-down will make the Linkage's stay open.
Hooking-up to the Choke Cable by mistake happens.
Cable Sheath not fully seated in Carb Holding Bracket
Throttle Cable Sheath pulled forward.
Loose Part stuck in Linkage not letting Linkage close.

Object used for Bench Sync too large. Throttles open.

5000 rpm's ... Those Throttles are definitely open.
