    So when I bought the bike carbs where already removed and torn apart all the peices are in bags and in a box. This week I'm going to clean them and rebuild them (new innards arriving Monday or Tuesday) my question is with the jets and mixers (any or all), what gets turned out so many turns and what gets snugged. Also if someone could give me a base line for how many turns out anything needs to be to get me to a starting point it would be greatly appreciated.

    Put '82XJ650rj in your signature.The bench synch, wet setting the fuel levels and setting the mix screws (depending on thread pitch) will be the starting point for synching your bike.
