Wanted Xj700x carburetors

Pickups are under the left engine cover

 

Thank you. From the pictures can you tell what model that is? It is a 1985 xj700 maxim. I'm just trying to get parts for the bike. It was my first bike I had.

 

Yes, as you said, it’s an xj700 Maxim.

Its in pretty Sad shape right now, but it can be brought back with TLC.

I recommend doing a carburetor rack rebuild, and get the valve clearances back into spec. That will go a long way in helping to get it back into good shape.

 

Someone chopped up the wire harness real good. I had it stored at my dad's house. Now it turns over and tries to start but it doesn't have fire to the inside cylinders. Do you know where I can get the manual for that bike? I need a wiring diagram.

 

Make sure your left coil is connected to to plug 1 (on your left, and plug 4 (on your right), and the right coil gets hooked to plug 2 ( inside left), and plug 3 (inside right).
Now go one at a time ..... pull each plug and see if all 4 are creating spark.
