    Calling All XJ Members in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Dakotas all are welcome. If you are in the area let me know if you are interested in getting togeather for a carb clinic. I can host and we have a heated shop space with compressed air. Lets get togeather and dial our carbs in and have alittle fun doing it. If everyone can't make a date we could do two sessions if needed. Please let me know so we can set dates

    Thanks

    Thanks for responding Blackout. Still looking for more guys and gals to step up to the plate here. I have a nice shop we can work in , I will PM PainterD and Edina Dad and see if they want to set up a date.

    Keep me up to date how you are doing on your project.

    I'm all for it!

    Just let me know when, where and what I'll need to bring!

    I was planning on doing my carbs and valves this winter anyways, so this is perfect for me.

    Hi Mn Maxim,I don't need carb help but wouldn't mind a midwinter get together. I recently got a 650 seca as my latest project and would love to talk about these and other bikes. Guzzi John-Champlin :wink:

    I will get a date for January and let everyone know. I have a BBQ grill and we can broil up some burgers and brats for lunch. Should be fun to see everyone.

    MN- Maxim, I could really use the help with my carbs I plan on taking a wack at them this winter. And me as a first timer could really benefit from the experience. Let me know what I would need to bring along. Most Saturdays would work for me :?

    I would be interested in this if my schedule works when you decide. My need a place to crash. Let me know what you plan. Give me a heads up so I can order parts and adjust the schedule.

    The holidays are almost over and January is my slowest time. Any saturday or sunday will work. I'm going to print off Ricks Old School Carb Cleaning. So Lets sound off for what day and maybe if there is enogh interest we can schedule a second day for those who can't make the first one. I'm thinking the 17th would be a good day to shoot for. Let me know

    my carbs maybe need a cleaning but my biggest deal right now is it not getting spark. and everything seems to check out fine. could maybe be the pickups or the ignition module. but its so dang cold i havnt been able to work on it since fall. so i suppose if anybody wanted to help me figure it out at the meet i'd be down. or sometime in the spring

    January 17th Any takers?????? Please let me know if you would like to come over to my shop. I'm going to pull the carbs off of my XJ650H and I will be going through those for sure. I have carb dip and a large air compressor. We can also arrange a second session for those who can't make it. PM me so I can get everything ready.
