XS650 Enthusiast
Used to have a 72 XS650 back in '79. Been running XS11's for the past 4 years.
Found this 83 through a collector friend. 15.8k on it, been sitting a couple years, ran a year ago, shift shaft/clutch push rod leak, in pretty good shape. Started right up and idled great. Loses power at 5krpm. Have replaced plugs, cleaned & checked caps, cut back plug wire. Replaced Battery. Need to replace fuseblock.
Pulled the carbs and cleaned them last night, diaphragms look good, carbs/jets/emulsion tubes were clean, Plastic floats set at 23.25 to the top of the tang flat, 20.8 to the top of the plastic. Plugs show it running really rich. Read lotsa info on the float height. Looks like it should be 22 +-1mm on the plastic float.
PO cut out the baffle plate with a chisel. Other than a small tear in the seat, 1 missing mirror, missing LH lower cover and needing tires it's in pretty good shape.
