need help with connecting spark plug wires

dose anyone have a picture or drawing of how to connect the spark plug wires it's labeled 2-4 and 1-3 and i failed miserably to pay attention to that.
any help would be great.

and where can i get a sync tool???? and where is the sync on my bike??

85 xj 700 maxim

thank you in advance

 

anyone???

 

The engine cylinders are numbered 1-2-3-4, moving left to right, as you are sitting on the bike (facing forward). The plug wire numbers correspond to the cylinder "number".

If your bike is an air-cooled model, then you need the YICS chamber blanking tool while performing the engine synch. We do carry these tools in stock!

 

thank you so much for your help..

how much is that tool and how can aquier one from you.

and agian thank you

 

Sitting on the Bike.

The LEFT Coil fires == 1 <--> 4
The Right Coil fires == 2 <--> 3

The YICS Tool is handy but you don't need it.

You can STUFF the Chamber with a long, narrow strip of Tee-Shirt moistened with Marvel Mystery OIL.

The Sync Screws are on the Carb Linkage.
There are Adjustments for Throttle Plate deflection on 1, 2, & 4
The Idle Adjustment Rod adjusts 3.

Before you attempt to Sync Carbs it is vital that you review the section on Synchronization of Carbs in a Manual, ... first.

 

Hey Anton, just send us a PM (private message) thru the website or a real-world e-mail. The blocking off of the YICS passage is needed to do a proper synch of the engine.

 

thank you guys i hooked up the wires correctly thanks to you chacal
and it fired up rite away. and it idles like i just bought it, i am running pod filters and open exhaust im really happy with this outcome 9 months and they bike runs. but i am having problems adjusting the clutch, i pull the clutch and put it in first and as soon as it pops over to first it dies its almost like it doesn't clutch enough but i am already at maximum on the the throttle adjustment any ideas guys??

 

You can turn the lever a couple of splines at the motor to get more travel.
Did you re-jet the carbs, if so, what did you step up to ?

 

Anton do you have a side stand switch on your bike? If you do that is probably your problem.

 

i have not yet rejeted the bike but am planing on it if i need to ran the bike a bit today and checked my plugs and they looked clean and excelerated perfect. i have eliminated the kick stand switch in hopes of never forgetting to put it down when i park LOL

 

Anton what did you do with the wires from the side stand switch?

 

You may be on the lean side still... keep an eye on your oil levels and the plugs... If the oil level starts dropping without any leak than you are lean and need to rejet.

I would be hard pressed to say that you will not need to rejet

 

@ Waldo i cut and stripped the wireing from the switches and junked them.

@ Rob i am exspecting to rejet the bike i just have to order the jet kit do you know a good place?? and i am gona keep a close eye on the oil and plugs thank you for that i am looking for a nice brown color on my plugs rite not black plugs??

 

You can save $$$ by drilling out your jets, get the drill bits from the hobby shop, go up 3 jet sizes on the mains & up 1 on the pilots.

 

no offense to anyone just that he doesn't yet know where the sync is located (under the fawsit?) so I imagine drilling his own jets won't be a money saving endeavor.

Len has jets as do many others

 

Anton you have any updates?

 

Waldo i ended up taking my carbs in and having the rebuilt i am still looking for the cause of clutch i never did tie the 2 wires of the kickstand switch together i am going to work on that tomorrow and try to tune my carbs after the rebuild thats the only update so far...
