Hi Dave. I haven't been on the xj site for a while. I happened to look at one of my old posts and saw that you were trying to ask me about some old fairing lowers. If you are still interested I may still have them in a box. I can take a look if need be. Let me know. Joe

Hi Rick, yes I do run a shim pool. When you know what sizes you need, get in touch with me via a conversation

I am new to the forum and new to xj's
Just doing some research before tackling a valve clearance job. I saw in an old post that you have a shim exchange pool, if you are still doing this please let me know how it works. I have not checked mine yet so I don't know what sizes I will need but I plan on tearing into it this weekend due to a rainy forecast.

Spike....more than likely, one of the exhaust heat-shields is loose. When you hear it,touch with your toe and see if it stops.

Carbs

Dally I have an 82' XJ750 Maxim it will run then die suddenly and when it is restarted it backfires. I t will restart but wants to go through the same process again. ( It is also very cold natured in the morning startup. ) I would like it to just be able to run at an even idle. Around 1150 to 1200 rpm. What should I check first?

Mike....check your inbox

hogfiddles hi I was directed to you on carb cleaning for my 1985 xj700 max hope you can help me out carb is off but looking for a good carb cleaning and carb set back to factory settings replace anything that needs replacing let me know if we can hook up or if you can direct me to place here in Portland Oregon thx

Kevin, check your inbox.... We'll talk there......

Can you give me a ball park price to have the carbs cleaned and rebuilt on my 82 xj 750? I was told I should come to you.

bobt, check your inbox

I here you are the carb. man. If I send the carbs out do you have a ball park on the cost? How do I contact you?

hey hogfiddles can you read my post about my turn signal and maybe give me some advice, the only info I don`t have is about the bulb that's in the new turn signals, I can`t get it out

Couldn't care less about the value of kitchens

Thanks,Sno!

With Pollock's help I made some room in my inbox so your message would come in !

Hey Dave, I hope you're doing well. My Seca900 is still not running but I recently saw an ad about a '84 Seca 750 front fairing and I wonder if it would be a direct swap?

Hi, Len said that you were the guy to talk to you about my carburetors. I have a 1983 seca. I have rebuilt the carburetors but I did not break them from the rack. I am slightly handicapped and it's getting to be a lot of work. I do have a vacuum leak shaft seals. What would you charge to replace them for me?

go into the forum or marketplace heading that you want, then click on the "post new thread" button toward the upper right area

robawf, we ALL lost our pics when we went to the new format. You'll have to reload what you can. We ALL had to.

I DON'T......my wife will confirm that---much to her annoyance.

xj750R is a Seca, not Maxim. XJ750M is a Midnight Maxim...all black and gold, no bright chrome. H-1981,J-1982, K-1983. What year on title?

( other than the parts that were mentioned in the forum)

Sorry, wow.....I don't have any parts for the xj400. Wish I could help you out.

Hey hogfiddles. I'm restoring an old Xj400 and noticed while driving that the foot gear lever wasn't responding completely. I've seen you post a lot of spare parts, just wondering if you had a good spare i could get off your hands for a good price?

hohenstein.....Be aware that is the order that the things GO IN THE HOLE. Put them on the screw first, in reverse order. Easier to put in.

I have an '02 V-Max and an '85 V-Max in my stable.

Well, I guess it could have also been Polock........LOL

mirco, that was me.....and I just tried again. You have to 'leave conversation's for them to be deleted. You're box is still full.

Click on the XJ4Ever banner in the upper right corner. No need to repeat all your posts......one was enough----

that one's a no-brainer

Sledding before work again today.... If ya can't join it, beat it---- or at least go snowmobiling

because i wanted ride the sled a little more ....... and I did :)

back to snowing this afternoon.....snow, sleet, rain---reminds me of when I was a kid; mys sister and I would call it "SNEET"...

Bigshankhank-- your inbox is full. Everyone-- clean up your inbox, they're not infinite----

Why? Did you put ski's on it?

oscar....your oil drain is CENTER below the oil filter.

finallly, clean main roads and warm with bright sun! 700 started right up :)

do it as a project... you BOTH can learn, have a good time together, and save a lot of money. Ask, read, learn....DO. That's what we did.

go to the forum area, then click on the button on the upper right that says "New Thread". Go from there.......

because we went to a new platform

'T WORK

Brandon, we ALREADY ANSWERED your question in your own forum. You really think we'd give a different answer here? It WON

Brosef, sort of--on the old format it was called a "shout box". It's sort of a mini chat-bar, pseudo-tweet bar, etc.....

hey TL1000S, good to see you finally got here! hogfiddles....still on xjog

Just heard from BigFitz- he's fine, very busy, says hello to all, and will post when he finally can again.

Seca cafe.....bigfitz hasn't been on in quite awhile--you may be waiting a long time for a reply.

you CAN, but you can also expect leaks as well as improper slide needle clearances......

somwhere......I can't---is staying well below zero, and there's 2.5 ft of snow. Records broken for Feb here now, too....

2.5 for baseline
