    Well, for the first time ever, I found a factory screw-up in the carbs.

    I’m rebuilding a 1985 Xj700 rack for another member right now. It is an unmolested rack. The factory plugs were still in, and original throttleshaft seals still in. Three of the carb mixture screws were anywhere from 2.5 to 3.25 turns out. HOWEVER——-carb number 3........mixture screw was ZERO.......firmly bottomed right 0ut. I thought that seemed odd. WEEELLLLLLL........it made sense once I took the screw out and found the washer and the o-ring INSTALLED IN REVERSE ORDER!!! So, 36 yrs later , it finally gets corrected. Lol
