    Been working on a seized engine. Here the video of her first start up. Still need to connect airbox, tune it etc.
    Big thanks to dave for an excellent carb rebuild job as well as Len for sending over the complete engine gasket set.

    Hope it’s cold outside and that’s just condensation coming out of the exhaust.

    It was around 20 degrees, so yes.
    But also some oil burning off from the rebuild.
    Once it gets a bit warmer I'll run her a bit longer.
    Bike idled fine without choke after I took this first video. Looks promising.
    Also need to check compression, color tune, sync it etc.

    Great. It took me a while to get my XJ700N dialed in, but it’s running great and is certainly worth the effort. Good luck.
