Guys, call me to set up a sale: (717) FiveSevenFive - FiveTwoFiveEight

I've got a 83 XS650 Motor, no ignition components, no carbs, good compression, clean, polished oil cover, missing drive side cover. I'd like $250, but I'll take offers. Will deliver anywhere in PA/OH/MD/VA/NJ I'll even throw in a pile of stock XS650 parts if you pay $250.

Is there anyway to bring the fuel back from the dead once it's already in the carbs? IE: cleaning the carbs up without removing them?

I haven't ridden my PAMCO/PMA'ed XS650 since last summer, and even then I didn't ride it much. I aim to the sell the bike, but I'm getting ticked that its not running right despite all these improvements. One thing that gets me is that my carbs are STILL getting gummed up despite dual stone...

This bike has a clear PA Title in my name, ready to transfer. Currently plated and registered in PA.

Tried in the incense trick and it showed nothing, the smoke flowed right around the carb and intake boots. What's weird is that it doesn't chirp at idle. Only when throttle is applied. Posted via Mobile

So spraying ether or carb cleaner or water won't affect the idle of a leaking seal?

Still for sale!

BUMP Postage to Australia was $46.

That was part of my problem. I couldn't get it to center that well. It's also really far down there, no chance to grab it, side cover is already off.

I'm getting a chirp/squeal off idle, from 1500 rpms to 3000 rpms. Recently removed the clutch side cover, but it doesn't appear to be coming from that area. Sounds like its more in the cam chain tensioner area. Checked the cam chain tension, no difference. Sprayed starting Ether in and...

Using a drill to quickly install side cover bolts is fine as long as you dont get carried away with making sure they are snug. This one is snug, and now broken off real far down in the lower hole on the clutch cover. It's the bolt with the sleeve. I tried an easy out, but it was making...

Only reason I mentioned the commonality of the Sportster tank is because everyone says how awesome the Bratstyle, Heiwa, and Motoshop bikes are...and guess what? You don't see too many Sportster tanks in their builds. You showed a picture of another tank in this thread that looks way more...

I need something to sync my carbs. I can get the bike to run pretty well, but idle surge and random stalls at stop signs have me frustrated. Dead cylinder method hasn't seemed to cure the problem. Can I borrow someone's sync tool? I'll pay shipping. Looking for something on the east coast...

What's funny is that I see so many American's calling this style "Bratstyle" and the Japanese just call it a chopper. That's all it is really...a swingarm chopper. You sure you wanna do a Sportster tank? That's a pretty common look...
