    OK

    I think I may need to rejet my carbs for two reasons.

    The exhaust is a 4 into 1 and have read in other posts that this will effect the carbs
    Allso I have non standard air filters fitted which gives me a bit of concern.
    So what size jets came as standard (1980 xj650 European model)

    [​IMG]

    When I took these off there is no kind of filter medium inside and I do not know if that is right or not.

    What is the trick to unclipping the chock cable? I am not shure if I m just being too gentiel with it.

    Throttle cable also hard to get to.

    While I am here thought I would post a pict of the fuse box.

    Those are 13Amp domestic fuse in the lid as spares. New box required during rebuild. I think I might build the one described on the xjcd

    If I were you I wouldn't be concerned about the jets at this point in time... Leave that until later.

    I would replace the pod filters and fuse box and go hard on the cables because they are relatively cheap to replace :)

    Good luck ;)

    That ... right there ... IS ... why these Fuse Panels need to be yanked-out with extreme prejudice and sacrificed to the Gods of Volts and Amperes.

    A shot of lubricant and some needle-nosed pliers will help get the cable turned-round to slip the bullet out from the catch.

    Looks like your dance-card is filled-out for many moon's.

    I wish you well with the project. I hope there isn't anything to complicate matters during the restoration.
