    Have just bought an xj750 that has not started for 12 years. Got it started with jumper leads and on ya few pushes of start button, all good exempt the r/hand carb is leaking a little, possibly the float valve/needle. Me ? is can these be checked without carby removal

    Carb porn!

    Roger, do as they ^^ say, read the links Kmoe posted and ask any questions you have here. Plan on spending some extra money on it, but safety and reliability has no price tag.
