Luckydog,I received the idle mixture screws from Mikes, and found the mixture screws were about 4 mm shorter than my original '83 XS650 screws. I contacted Mikes but they could not help me. I ended up putting the original BS 34 mixture screws back in.

Really liked the pictures of your XS1. I actually saw an XS1 and heard it run when I bought my first XS, an...
