    Could someone please provide me with a link to a good step by step carb cleaning process for an 81 xj650?

    Thanks,

    Check "XJ FAQ Final" on the forum home page. Rick has provided an excellent tutorial.

    Aw, Teddy. You beat me on the reply. I need to type faster. Maybe I need a valve adjustment?

    Definitely check the valve clearances. They may not need adjustment but checking them should be a top priority.

    Anyone have the valve specs for a 1957 PA Redneck? Fits, Rick, anyone?

    I think you have a case of non-adjustable hydraulic valve-train :)
