NEED HELP!!!!!!

[javier302]

Are there any XS650 specialists in the New York City metro area? If so, who are they and does anyone have a GOOD contact phone number for them?

My bike is running, but needs to be dialed in correctly!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

E-mail me directly at javier_altube@hotmail.com

or an alternate e-mail address: Baja4Autism@aol.com

Thanks in advance.

We took the carbs apart and cleaned everything. Bike still has no throttle response, but this started out of nowhere, we thought maybe something got into the carbs...
Bike idles, a little better with choke on, but when throttle is applied almost no response, sometimes it pops and stalls... Starts right up if kicked again
I would like somebody with knowledge on this motors/carbs to look at it

Your problem is likely in the pilot circuit. Have you removed and cleaned the pilot jet? The pilot jet is screwed into the float bowl on the 70 to 79 years. The orifice is very tiny..............look to see light through it.

Your mixture screw needs to be adjusted correctly also.

cool, one of them was kinda messed up and couldn't be removed so was drilled out, picking up some new ones this week so we can test it again.
thanks for the input.
will post an update after we replace em.

You should read the "Carb Guide" that is in the Tech section.
