Thanks! This is so cool!

The previous owner (2 owners ago) gave me a bunch of receipts. One shows '650 Central VM34 Carb Kit - w/ vac barbs & short cable'. He built this bike last summer but it has been sitting around for the last 5-6 months rarely being run. So the parts look good, I guess it just needs to be cleaned?

Right on. Thanks for the guide! I like to let the pros sort out the toys to begin with. I figured a carb adjustment must be relatively standard. I do as much of the maintenance and tweaks as I can after that.

Thanks! I'll mention this to the tech, although I'm sure he already knows to look at them.

Hi everyone! A couple weeks ago I bought my first motorcycle, a 1978 XS650 that a previous owner (2 owners ago) had rebuilt. I've always liked the cafe racer style and when I saw this bike, I had to have it. As far as I know most of the engine was rebuilt and there are about $2k in part...
