    I haven't posted very often in the forum since I usually find the answers I need by searching through other posts, so thanks to all.
    I've been restoring my xj650rj for a while now and here's where I am so far.

    Replace cylinder jugs (original was cracked)
    new pistin rings
    new gaskets and o-rings all around
    valves lapped and clearances set to spec
    carbs cleaned(zestfully) and rebuilt with new throttle shaft seals ond o-rings, and bench syched
    Yesterday was my first chance to try out my "new" carbs and after sitting for a few years in somebody's shed it sprang to life as if it came off the assembly line last week.
    I still have lots to do (wheel bearings, steering head bearing, complete rebuild/replacement of the brakes, tires, etc, etc), but I'm getting there slowly bur surely.

    Sorry this is a bit lengthy, but thanks to all again
    Josh
