    Can not get the bike to run.
    It seems to be a fuel problem.
    Cleaned all the jets and orifices .
    When it does run at all it surges.

    We will need more information

    What year and model of XJ?

    How long have you owned it?

    Have you seen it run before?

    What has been done to the machine in terms of other engine-related maintenance?

    What do you mean by surging? A hunting (uneven) idle? Engine speed increasing and decreasing when applying steady throttle while moving?

    Darn, they must be good because I have hours of staring at my machines and it never seems to fix them

    I know what you mean,
    I've been looking at my old busted Norton for over three years now.
