So I've still got an on going issue on cylinder 2 with it not getting as hot as the other 3 resulting in not being able to get past 60mph. I've...
The bit with the 65mph and sputtering is my current issue. Let me know if you get a solution!
Long shot but are the needles ok? I discovered yesterday after a frustrating couple of weeks not being able to get past 60mph and 6k revs that...
Thank you! This is probably where I'm going wrong. I'm trying to keep the screws at 2.5 turns out on all of them!
How accurate is that statement? Can anyone comment? I ask because I'm having issues with power loss and I end up either running too rich or too...
Its this bit, where you see the 2 small bumps. They are tack welded and mine has separated on two of the three brackets. But as I mentioned Chacal...
No, it's a different clip
New coils are on order. Estimated a week?! I'll have another go with the colortune and see if I can adjust. Bottom end power is there and is good
I changed the cap and took the bike for a spin. The bottom end power issue seems to be fine however still cant get passed 65mph. The bike revved...
I couldn't tell you now that I've chopped and changed. One is a red ngk and the others are black/grey from memory. As theres no history with the...
Cable 1 and cable 4 = 22.5k Cable 2 and 3 = 22.7k Plug (spark cap) 1 = 7.6k (replaced with spare at 5k) Plug 2 = 6.2k (replaced with spare at 5k)...
Got you, on a side note I checked the exhausts and all 4 were hot so it's definitely running on all 4
No I haven't although I can't see them having holes since I last put them in at the beginning of the month. I'll do xj550h suggestions as the...
Just noticed this pilot is a 40 and the main is 110... But this is correct in accordance with the church of clean (I have a US import) [ATTACH]
Thanks xj550h I'll be sure to give these suggestions a go tonight if I get chance. To check, when I'm doing the resistance checks, do I connect...
Are there any how to videos? I'm more of a visual learner Haha. I dont want to be spending more money, I feel I've already piled loads into it....
I'm not sure on how to check any of those. I've assumed compression is fine given that it runs. Coil resistance shouldn't play a part should it?...
I'll grab a picture of the sparks after work tomorrow. Would a small vacuum leak cause the lack of power post 65mph and the bogging down an lower...
Yes and yes. Full carb strip down, new butteryfly shaft seals and fuel o rings. Been in a ultrasonic cleaner too
They have been removed, I removed and refitted them during the carb strip down. I saw posts about drilling them out but I took a small thin...
I've just had a brain fart where I've completely forgotten which screw adjusts the amount of fuel going to the engine via the carbs. I cant...
New day new problem Today I went on a nice ride out up in the Yorkshire Dales and did approx 164 miles of riding. Through the ride I noticed that...
Here's the clip I'm talking about [ATTACH]
Its 10pm and the bikes locked up. I'm up early for a morning ride so will get a pic before I leave
Mine doesn't spin in neutral, you make me worried ha ha
No it's not that. It doesnt look to be in that diagram. It's a thin stainless steel ring that sits on the lip of the glass and holds the glass...
Does anyone know how the retaining clip is held on? It looks as though it is spot welded on and mine has come off from two places so I'm now...
So I've just put about 50 miles on it and I'm in love. I do however think I need to invest in a windshield as anything from 60mph onwards wants...
Thanks k-moe and thanks to everyone who has helped! The bike passed its MOT and I've had it on the open road. It pulls like a train and sounds...
Questions galore here.... can a muffler restrict the air flow and cause the bike to bog down? [ATTACH]
Thanks, would the cable need lube even though its brand new? I've been out this morning and as you said my routing seems fine so I've slackened...
So followed your instructions however I feel like I have the cable in the correct place. I got out of bed and took this quick video as I'll only...
Gotcha, I cant say I've noticed though. Am I correct in saying that they are on some sort of wind up coil that needs to reset itself? Or am 8 I...
Something I didn't know, is this for when I turn a corner like in a car?
I didn't think it had a self cancelling unit? They're working now. It was the connection between bulb and holder
Urgent ! Changed all bulbs to the same one, right hand flashes fine, left hand the front is a solid light and the back doesnt come on at all...
Anyone have instructions/diagram for the correct routing of the throttle cable for an xj650 maxim? I've replaced it with a new one from chacal...
That would make sense, its rained most of the day and its been quite warm too. The bike however is stored in a garage and only came out for the...
That's what I thought, do you think the steam is where the bike hasn't been ran in a while? I don't think it's been used in 16 year... at least...
So I swapped the coil out for a replacement and tuned the bike using colortune and Morgan carbtune pro. [MEDIA] The bike runs very smooth now...
Thanks k-moe I was getting frustrated as to why it kept idling higher... now I know! I'll be swapping it out tomorrow
Silly question time. So I was tuning in the air fuel mixture screws today (only had to adjust one) with a colortune. However on spark #3 the...
Got ya Colortune should be here tomorrow followed by the morgan carb tune on tuesday
For what is worth then I may give it a miss at first but if it doesn't run smoothly after then I'll use the tool. Thanks all for the help
I have done, I even have the paper copy that came with the tool when I ordered from Chacal. My confusion lies with it being one or two passages...
Thanks, do I need to use both ports or just one? I'm confused as to why there are 2 ports.
Also, gunson colortune prior to vacuum sync with morgan carb tuner- yea or neigh?
Well that just confuses me even more so. Do I only need to insert the tool into one side to do the entire sync with the yics tool? If so why is...
Silly question but if I block off the left passage (sitting on the bike) would I be then be adjusting #3 & #4 or #1 & #2? I thought the yics...
2) I dont need the yics?? So I've wasted $50, great! 3) no grey bumps at all, if you remember from my previous post the plugs were carbon fouled...
