I am not sure of the true root cause but the solenoid was shorted out. I replaced it and it’s been fine since. I still think the low voltage high...

My poor old FJ sat in a cold garage for the past 5 months. I went to try and start it yesterday, so I charged the 4 year old battery (it was taken...
Now that I have one apart, I found a large nut in my "nuts n bolts" box that fits perfectly in the internal 12point Allen type bolt. I just need...
Broomstick Worked liked a charm Thank you TR

a100man: I tried to send you a message but your inbox is full. Did you ever unload those FJ600 Carbs? I have an 85 FJ600 and I am always looking...
Thanks Will do
I need a new filter for my Turbo Seca. Everybody lists them on their sites but they all list the same filter for the non-turbo version as for the...
Ok Thanks. I might just let the sleeping dog lie
Manbott Would it be your recommendation to take the check valve apart to clean and inspect? I imagine it is just a spring and a large ball bearing...
Thank you, but I probably should have done that before everything was torn apart. Would a stuck check valve cause the oil to leak into the turbo...
I have my 1983 somewhat torn apart for some winter maintenance. There has been a small leak under the bike for a while, nothing major, just...
Thank you both The tenth digit of the VIN is D. Which makes it a 1983
I have a 1983 (supposedly) Turbo Seca. I say supposedly because the title says 1983, but I have it torn apart for winter maintenance and the VIN...
Thank you that is what I thought I just wanted to be sure
I am trying to troubleshoot a lean condition on my FJ600. Carbs were completely rebuilt and cleaned meticulously all seals replaced, no Vacuum...
I checked and reset the pilot screws. They were at 2 5/8. I set them to 2 3/4 but I did not get a chance to ride the bike. Assuming they are...
Valves were set right in the middle of the range about 250 miles ago. I don't recall what the pilot screw was set at when the carbs were put...
The intake boots from the carb to cylinder are brand new. Vacuum caps could stand to be replaced but they seem to fit tight. Original type paper...
Last July I did a complete tear apart and clean new float needles Orings throttle shaft and float height set and sync. I am not an expert, what...
Like I said, Now the bikes starts and runs fine. I am worried about it being a bit lean. Put in fresh plugs and rode it for about 25 miles. I...
All is good in Auburn Township. She started today. And running great. One question though. After a hot lap around the town, I measured the exhaust...
Well I sprayed everything electrical with CRC Wire Drier and let it dry. I checked spark and all four had a decent spark. Still no ignition. It...
Thanks I will give it a try tomorrow
My 85 FJ600 has been running great for the past few months, that is until this past Saturday. I had it trailered up to take it to a Novice Class...
Gustafson out of Florida sells new windscreens. Google them, you will find them. They aren't cheap. I took my FJ600 out last week for the first...
Yep, I did lube the mechanism and checked the pin when I put the bike back together. Thanks for the help Tom
Yes, I suspected the friction plates. Sounds like a winter project was just added to the list. Thanks Tom
New friction plates?
I thoroughly lubed the cable and routed it per the factory manual. It operates smoothly, no binding and it has plenty of throw. Just a really...
The friction zone on my FJ600 is extremely short/narrow. I adjusted it at the case and the lever but it still doesn't have much of a friction...
Yeah It might be, I currently have too long a section of fuel line. It loops down almost below the bowls then loops back up. This weekend I am...
Yep, I will try that. But in terms of the vent Tubes... If a person were to blow into one of them, shouldn't they vent out to the other Tube?...
I am running a single line from #3 to the petcock. The other 3 are capped off individually. The original carbs for the bike we're butchered, so...
Sorry, the FJ600
So my fuel starvation problem never really went away. I cleaned out the Gas Cap passages even though they weren’t plugged. Checked my fuel...
Problem fixed, I took the cap apart and cleaned out the check valve and the little filter. Neither looked dirty but I cleaned them anyway. Went...
No time tonight to clean out the cap. Maybe tomorrow, I replaced the vacuum line myself, plus it was starving on Prime too. So I am pretty sure...
No, I did not confirm/test the cap. How would I go about doing this? But after reading the rebuild instruction/link, If I were a betting man, I...
Perfect, Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't have thought a stinking fuel cap was so complicated. Thanks again Tom
I am not familiar how the cap vent works but it seems strange that enough venting couldn't be accomplished through the key lock mechanism. I will...
So I am having some fuel starvation issues with the Petcock on my FJ600. The Valve is vacuum operated on "On" and "Reserve" with a Prime setting...
My fj600 is finally on the road, brand new tires too, so off I went for a hot lap around the township. TR
I don't "get" the link to Holiday Inn Express. I am a little slow. TR
