Hi All,
Hoping to get some thoughts, I just acquired this 1980 XS650 and it appears this baby requires some tuneups. Any thoughts on why i would be backfiring from the left side, the exhaust also appears to be smoking from the right side after a quick run around the block.
I presume the smoking is from a valve seal leak on the right cylinder. Maybe the backfiring is caused from insufficient fuel. It smells lean.
I plan on doing a valve adjustment once I get my pma and pamco ignition in. Any thoughts, tips, advice is greatly appreciated.
