    Hello everyone,

    I have been gone for a few years but I am back with an even bigger love for my new XJ750.

    Of course she decided to kick me square in the pants after about 5 hours total of riding since purchase.

    I am quite confident the previous owner did something to the carbs to hide their true condition. As after about 5 hours of run time my carbs are now leaking fuel quite badly from somewhere. Cant tell yet from where though.

    I was planning on doing a full carb rebuild but not immediately.

    Does anyone know of anyone on the site here that offers carb rebuild service? Where i could mail them my carbs and they mail them back kinda thing?

    Thanks for any help you can provide, and hope to see you all on the road once i get my bike back up and running.
