I bought a xs650 couple months ago as my toy, and since then I have been playing around always trying to fix and repair but lately it wasn't going very well.
Well where to start:
When I bought it it was running fine and idling fine.
I noticed it had rust problem in tank so I took out the tank, did the apple cider vinegar for the rust, it worked great after 2 days the tank was looking like brand new inside, so I sealed and came out very good, very happy, I replaced the petcock because the others were shot, new petcock looks great.
I saw it had inline fuel filters so i bought other ones, replaced one was working fine, the other was standing kind of horizontal and the gas was not going to the carbs, so removed and used the old one, worked fine.
After couple of firings, when the bike warmed it started idling at 3k, I looked at this forum and most cases were the ATU springs, bought a pair from MikesXS and replaced, not to hard to replace so that was done.
This is where the "fun" started, I fired the bike, and noticed a click after every 10-15 seconds, looked at the carbs and saw that when was making that noise it was smoking from the airpods, so I thought maybe because gas drooped on the pods while working on the filters would cause that but I knew it wasn't the case just bought new airpods, removed the old ones and fired the bike again and the smoke from the carbs continued every 15 seconds. I turned off left it for couple of minutes.
When I fired back on the bike start running only on choke and not idling anymore, so I tried couple of times on and off, but no luck it was not idling anymore and runs only on choke.
At this moment:
I have removed the carbs, because red that most of the cases is the pilot jet, but I need some advises before I open the carbs because I don't want to make things worse.
Things i noticed on the carbs is that the parts in the pic "have no idea what the name is" circled red are not lined up, maybe they were set up that way.
Also I'm trying to connect led blinkers because it didn't had any but they turn on and stay solid.
SO MY QUESTION IS:
Do I need to do carbs cleaned related with the idling issue??
Or do some have any idea what can it cause that??
"if Carb job needs to be done, what kit should I choose, if you have any link would be great"
Have seen some kits online but none of them has the same jet
Main jet #117.5 Needle jet Z-8 Pilot jet #25 this numbers are taken from yamaha manual service book.
For the blinkers, what type of flasher relay should I chose to replace in order to make the LED work.
Thank you in advance,
Any type of help or advice is greatly appreciated
Best Regards
