XS650 Addict
Hi guys . picked up a 74/5 xs the other day (been 5ish years since my last xs650 lol) and im having some issues. The carbs flood and pour gas everywhere ..the floats are not stuck . Mikuni round slides . no biggie i figure they just need cleaned . and im getting enough gas to the cylinders it sgould attempt to fire. Its kick only so checking for actual spark is a pain in the ass .But i have a buddy on the way over to help ..the electrical has a combination of switches ..and seems to be sound but it has one of those four cell balistic batterys and it is absolutely dead as hell . could this be a issue ? I figure the kick would overcome a dead battery but day two with no progress . before i juat take it to a shop .Anyone have any ideas or procedures i can go thru .
