Got the new one yesterday and it fits perfect. Took 2 weeks to come from China but the price is right.
I turfed the old one, had to use a punch and hammer to get to unlock.
Part numbers don't match up between Virago and Maxim/Seca using the new part numbers but with the old numbers they match up!!!
Looks to be the same as the one I have now (mine has a broken keyway). Price is right so I'll order one. I'll post back the results when I get it.

Are all the XJ carbs the same size?. I believe my 81 Seca 750 has 35mm carbs.
Getting at the frame mounted master cyl is a pain. I'd prefer the handlebar mounted one, easier to service.
Thanks, just curious.
My 81 Seca 750 has the frame mounted MC. I happen to have a handlebar MC and lever from an FZ600. Can they be changed over without much hassle?

Got the carbs off and the jet in the float bowls are plugged. I'll soak them in carb cleaner overnight and hopefully they'll be clear by morning!!
