No Sir...as I found them. Got correct ones on the way
[ATTACH] I went ahead and just ordered the 120s and 40s from Chacal.
They actually look pretty good, but I do not think it has run much in several years, so I am not sure how good of an indicator that is. Am just...
Hi all! I recently added another XJ to the stable. A 1983 750 Maxim. As I started tearing down the carbs, the first thing I have found is that...
Moving out the garage due to possible flooding. How do people trailer a Seca 750? Remove the trim on the handlebars so you can put straps around...
If it were within 8 hours of me it would already be in my garage!!!!!
Bob Ross of the carb world!
Yes sir, I can kill the cylinder by screwing in too far and speed it up by unscrewing. That is where I screwed up...had them way to far out,...
I never really got a color change on any of the carbs via the needle.....pretty blue with flash of orange when throttle is bumped. I started over...
Throttle cable has slack. No I did not adjust it down as it would not go down. Would having the idle set to rich on all of these cause this? I...
Man I am mad! My I went through this seca bolt by bolt 2 summers ago, and it was running perfect.....it was running perfect 2 hours ago! So I...
Thanks you Sir!!
Alright gentleman and ladies, What is the general thinking........colortune then sync, or sync then colortune?....and both at fully warmed up or not?
I didn't read through the whole thread, but skimming this sounds kinda like what I went through on my Son's bike....all issues were traced back to...
You can buy the seals separately......chances are all you will need are throttle shaft seals, the o-rings and washer on the idle mixture screws,...
Went through the same thing in St Charles Inspection station had me freaking out cause it was rubbed through and they had to go off the short...
And gain valuable experience in installing helicoils.......lesson learned
Got caught out in a severe thunderstorm 10 miles from home. Pea size hail, 60 mph wind and no place to stop.
Added almost 500 miles to the odometer in the last 3 days
Just did a search for carb baffle plates.....this thread is the only one that came up.......the search function is not always so friendly....
Any decent hardware store would have them
I had to do some minor grinding on the pads with a dremel to get the slide pin to go all the way through both pads and fit correctly....
Arrived!!!!! As soon as I touch it up a bit, NOW maybe my Seca may be totally complete! Thanks again Len!!!!!!
Wow, thought I had the only 2 XJs in this state.
Thanks Len!!!!!!! Done deal!!!!
I thought I finally had my 750 Seca complete with the addition of the handlebar screws cover......only to discover there was a Seca emblem that...
Hand tightened with a palm wrench......after 50 miles today, no leaks.....Will just go with the wrist click method from now on.
It is not the mounting, it is the balancing I worried about.....money well spent at $25 a tire at cycle gear to get them mounted and balanced.......
Hand tightened only then....Will keep an eye on it and see if I develop any leaks. THANKS!!!! Feels good having those repaired....been at the...
Installed 6 helicoils to fix my screw up last time i checked my valve clearances
After putting in 6 helicoils to fix my goof ups from last time I checked the valve clearance.....can some one please give me the correct torque...
I do not remember this after my stuntman impersonation, and I probably put 1000 miles on it after that. I will go back over the mounting bolts...
I am not 100% sure I would call it a vibration.....it sounds strange, but it is almost a "tingle".......I will re check everything again. Thanks!
No truer words have ever been said!
Exhaust is stock......I am really thinking it is coming from the engine. How many of the wedges do you have in yours Jetfixer??? The 2 on the...
I have developed a vibration in my Seca 750.....first it seemed like it was coming from the faring, so I removed it......then it seemed like it...
Wow!!!!! Looks good!
Darn, never even thought about it before! .....it is one heck of a difference with it off, did not like the way it rode at all at highway speed!
Wow, I did not know they were hard to find, mine had it on it when I bought it. Actually took it off for a bit for a change of pace, but after my...
That is rare??
Rebuilt brake caliper, installed new pads, rebuilt master cylinder, replaced brake lines, replaced front wheel bearings and seals and put new...
I wish.....still tracking it down.....
Broke a stud off the exhaust header trying to find the source of a vibration I have.
I would make sure they are the correct boots. If I recall correctly oem are resistor boots, and those that came with it may not be. If you are...
I bought a DB Electrical coil last year for my son's xj550 off of eBay, but it was listed as a direct replacement for oem. It was cheap and we...
Lol, consider it removed then!
So it is not factory, or part of the faring kit?
Touched up my signals, start, and horn buttons with paint stick from Chacal. Looks like new!
[ATTACH] Decided to run my 82 Seca 750 without the factory faring for awhile...when I removed it I found this on the headlight. Anyone have any...
Nice looking bike!
