Yeah no worries. I usually like to get things that have average miles for the year and steady use over really low miles because it wasn't used for...
I'm not skeptical in the sense that I don't believe the mileage to be accurate but just that it hasn't been run much and sat for a very long time...
Yeah I mean if it’s anything carb related, it’s getting a total overhaul because they are a pain in the ass. 4800 miles on a 37 year old bike...
Welp, this fall I guess I’ll pull them and try to track down all the turbo specific mikuni bits. I was hoping my symptoms sounded like a failing...
Good morning folks, I have been riding my 82 Turbo all summer and it's been doing great. The bike sat for 24 years and then after a little work...
^Yeah, i've seen that write up but I didn't want to spend the time or more than double the $16 I paid for a new one one buying a rebuild kit....
Thanks to bddesigns.ca for the missing rear decals on my 82. I tapered them up a little weird over the tricky bends I think but they are both even...
FYI the $16 TW200 EBay cap is working and venting well. Less than half the price of even a rebuild kit for a turbo and way less than the $100 for...
I did. It "looked" fine and the ball felt normal. I sprayed (soaked) everything with PB Blaster and used graphite lube in the lock and al was good...
I disassembled and cleaned the whole thing in February when I got it open for the first time since 1995. I was so paranoid that key would get...
Hello all, In the last couple of days, it's been warmer here than I have ridden this bike in (low 70s) and i've had all the classic "fuel tank...
It was mid 30s with flurries at 2200 ft elevation that day. Today was 63 and sunny with green grass and snow only on the mountains. Our season is...
I didn’t want to jinx it but the last 4-5 times I’ve ridden the turbo bike the tachometer has shown signs of life. Halfway through the ride the...
Yeah I guess I should have clarified that I didn't see a way without an empty tank and then a full tank to get the full sweep. That seems like it...
My Seca Turbo starts up right away at temps near freezing with Napa 15w40 in the sump. New battery, new plugs, the right choke for the right temp...
How would you test the resistance without removing it? Wouldn't it be easiest to test resistance with the full sweep with the float? I don't know...
Is the Maxim sending unit way harder to get to than say a Seca Turbo? 4 bolts and 5 minutes and mine is out. Easy enough to move it up and down...
When you say you fitted a pump do you mean a factory fuel pump? Also is your fuel pressure regulator in good shape?
I put 30 miles on the Seca this weekend. Boosting strong and running good for the most part. Tach is still not working and I haven’t pulled the...
It looks like he is saying he has changed it several times and it keeps doing it. Longer rides and make sure it's not overfilled to the point...
I like the add a turbo solution better than making it run well without it. ;)
Looks pretty good. I'd love to hear the turbo with that pipe on it.
Well both I guess. If the surge tank was still there and was being used as a make shift airbox that might be better than the open pods. I would...
That's sad. These low compression motors need that boost to feel good IMO. Do you still have the turbo pressure box or ignition box connected. My...
Reporting back to say @JeffK 's oil check valve solution is proving to be working amazing and I'm telling anybody I come across with a turbo that...
LOL, this has to be the best compliment. Thanks for sharing the progress. You have a beautiful bike.
Thanks Jeff. I mostly fiddle with the Amal’s on the Triumph and actually the BSA has a mikuni thrown on it. We don’t have ethanol in our fuel at...
The factory boost gauge just doesn’t tell you anything. It moves but when you have increased boost pressure it’s just way more peace of mind to...
After a quick adjustment of the brake lever and the plastics, all is well with the bar interference. After a couple mile ride all I noticed was a...
Now that the snow is off the road and I knew the Turbo was running I needed to address the the rest of the neglected bike. Only 4K miles but it...
Len provides excellent and quick service. This left side turn signal lense was nearly impossible to find and I was happy to pay up for it. Thanks...
I got my replacement lens for the Turbo. I fixed the last bit of damage from an earthquake in November caused a ton of crap to land on it in the...
Boost gauge installed over the weekend that looks pretty close to factory. Autogage 2310 [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Old seat from the 82 "customized"...
Just for reference here are the seat pans in case anybody searches for it. Any other differences besides the few in the first post?
For what its worth, I got the 83 seat today and sure enough everything transferred over and works fine on the 82. Just for future reference.
Interesting. I'm kind of getting conflicting info on if the pan is different underneath and latches differently. It's not a huge deal but I just...
From Vince's Seca Page: OFTEN ASKED: What is the difference between the 1982 and 1983 model turbo? Really only about three things changed...
Our roads won't be clear until late April and even then with gravel on them until early May. On the plus side I have plenty of time to keep doing...
To further clarify, I did do the newb thing of leaving the petcock on PRI and got some gas spillage last week as well. After using the petcock...
Got it running for the first time since 1995. ;) [MEDIA]
[MEDIA] I got the Turbo bike running for the first time since 1995 today. I filled the tank with a mix of Marvel Mystery Oil and new premium fuel...
I decided before I started digging in to this bike I needed to get the 22 years of dust and filth of it. Thankfully I didn't find any rodents....
I didn't. I just got the email notification that you replied in here though.
Sent you an email to the info@xj4ever address
I'm looking for the left hand turn signal lens or assembly, rubber boots for the mirrors, possibly a windscreen. Possibly a good condition seat...

Good evening folks, My name is Jay and I just picked up an 82 Seca Turbo with 4200 miles here in Anchorage, AK. It was sitting for a very long...
