    so i have 83 xj750 seca, i recently picked up for my first bike. and it has trouble starting, as in if its cold it wont start unless i give it a shot of starting fluid then it fires right up and runs pretty good once it warms up, and generally once its warmed up i can shut it off and fire it back up, im thinking maybe carb issues? or is there some sort of fuel filter it seems like the bike just needs primed everytime to start??? any info would be awesome thanks

    - CARB ENRICHMENT ("CHOKE") CIRCUIT CLEANING:

    a) shine a strong penlight or mini flashlight into the bottom of the bowl, where this jet passage "intake" is located. Look through the top of the bowl down into the jet passage "outflow" passage (this is the passage that the brass suction tube in the bottom of the carb body actually fits down into). Focus your eye carefully on the jet opening and make sure it's clean. P.S. it helps to do all this while in a darkened area.........see the picture "pen light test" on page 2 of this forum thread topic for a great image of what you want to see!:
