    No, but your manual (you do have a manual by now, right?) along with this article: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=2908.html

    and this one: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=14692.html

    cover the subject very thoroughly. Once they're clean, and the slides pass the clunk test, be sure to verify each carb's float level individually using fuel and clear tubing and get them as close to right on as humanly possible.

    Then be sure to do likewise with your bench sync. (As close to right on as humanly possible.)

    The more meticulous you are, the more time and effort you put into this; the less likely you are to have to do it again and again and again...

    be sure the enrichment wells (in the float bowls) are clear too.
