    I'm rebuilding my 83 XJ650J. I put the oil nozzle and lightly tapped it in and the locating pin broke off. Any way to salvage it? I ordered one off of ebay, but I'd rather salvage this one if possible. I was thinking sand off broke pin, drill hole and put a small roll pin in there. That would work right?

    The original locating pin is removeable. If you can't grab it then carefully drill it out (using a fixture to hold the nozzle)

    So I used music wire that I got from Lowes. See picture, I the 2nd smallest one which fit snug into a 1/16" drilled hole. I grounded lightly and that gave me a hole to drill into. I drilled almost all the way through. Then took the music wire about 1 1/2" long and chucked it into drill and "drilled" it into hole. It's not going anywhere. When I put it back in the crankcase, I'll just trim the excess and be done.

    Thanks guys.
