new guy here with a favor to ask

hi all, I picked up an '83 xj650 in really good shape a few months ago but the carbs need to be cleaned and sync'ed :cry: but local shops wont touch it, they all say the same thing :roll: ...oh its to old we wont work on it :evil: .

anyone in the Philadelphia, pa area willing to do them :!: :?: I will pay of course :!: :!:

 

You seen to be missing the RH engine cover.

Send me your rack of carbs and the seat.

I'll send the carbs back ready to go

 

I am really impressed with the seat there Dragon! Got the history on it? MiCarl, you'd be getting the better end of the deal! Bike looks to be in decent shape, hope your almost done putting it back together. Post the shop's name in our forum list, we'll make sure word gets around about their whimpiness when it comes to takin care of business! Welcome aboard!

pull your carbs off the bike, and send them to our very own RickCoMatic!

I just sent mine out to him to clean up and bench sync. He did an awesome job. I wouldn't hesitate to have him work on anything on my XJ. He is a very nice guy and a WEALTH of knowledge. I even got photos of all of the dirty parts of the carbs, and some photos of cleaned/repaired parts!

Shoot him a PM, see what he can do for you about those carbs!

I live right across the border in Audubon NJ. About 2 miles from the W Whitman. While I won't synch your carbs for you, if you come over, I'd be happy to synch them with you. We can colortune as well and really get your bike running like a champ.

Best,

Greg

 

geebake do you have a ramp to get the bike out of the truck if i come over, the way my lawn is i can get them in and out with no problem so never bought a ramp.

 

As a matter of fact, I do!

Not sure what your schedule is like but...

This Saturday, I'm having some new windows and a door installed on my house. Because of that, I'll be stuck at home with virtually nothing to do. Great time to tune up an XJ if it works for you.

We can easily synch and colortune. We can even rip your carbs down and clean them (I have a nice parts washer) but you may need some gaskets and o-rings if we got that far.

So, should I take it you're not interested in getting together Saturday?
