    I just got a 1981(82?) Xj650 (5N8).
    I would like to note that I am familiar with carbs, but I am no master.
    So, I can run on the enrichment circuit, but as soon as i turn it off the bike dies. Idling is not happening. I CAN use the enrichment and get moving, then turn it off down the road. It wont have much power, and it feels like it surges, but it'll run, and that's how I got it home. It looks like the carbs have been rebuilt, the gaskets seem new, and the Jets look suspiciously new. If someone has changed the Jets, I don't think they used the right ones. Any thoughts? View attachment 34702
