    Hey everyone I just bought a 1983 yamaha xj750 maxim extremely cheap on market place and have a few issues. I bought a carb rebuild kit and that got it to start. I am wondering if anyone knows where I can watch a good video on how to use the yics tool and how to sync/tune the carbs. It takes quite a bit of starting fluid to start it and it runs extremely fast currently in idle and if i adjust the throttle nut at all to slow it down it bogs down and dies. I believe its from the carbs. I have new plugs and the smoke machine shows no leaks.
