Where would the wrong spacer come from?
I would try and see if that spacer is out of alignment and being kept from sliding into the housing. You might use the axle bolt to try to align...

Did they get removed or moved somewhere?

You stated earlier that the lines were clear in your first post. Try removing the brake line from the master cylinder and press your thumb over...
So how do you reverse bleed? Where do you put in the brake fluid and how to you move it to the top of the handlebars into the master cylinder....
As a matter of fact, I did. Without the fancy bleeders. I put a small closed end wrench on the bleeder, attached a length of tubing to the...
could be shaft seals, could be butterflys not seated correctly. If you soaked the carbs in carb cleaner, you may have ruined all the seals and...

You might need to redo your bench sync, but start with the idle adjustment rod/screw turned in about half way.

You are very welcome. 30 year old bikes all have the particular issues. I know on my bike the carb to airbox boots are really pliable and soft...
XJ's have a way of testing ones patience. I know on my bike, I can remove the air filter and see the boots from the inside of the airbox. I...
If you have more than a couple of either the intake or exhaust studs broken off, I would recommend for sanity reasons to take the motor to a...
Be careful about E-Bay descriptions, I think that the intake manifolds for the Maxim are sorta specific and don't fit the other XJ models. They...
Check the enrichment plunger and seat. If it is dirty and stuck it will cause a very rich situation and the cylinder won't run.
On my bike, there is a screw on top and in the front center of the air box that you can loosen and slide the airbox back. It always has helped...
