1994 Xj600 - Help Me Thread
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2018 9:44 am
This is a thread to document and ask questions about my Xj600. Here is a video to kick it off. Sorry for the rockiness and heavy breathing. Ive been working on a sprinkler system and my legs are sore as heck. Note to self: Clean garage!

Some Initial Questions:
My Clymer manual says not to separate carbs, given how stuck they are I assume I will have to?
Where is a good place to get a new emulsion tube? I ruined one.
I took the ignition off since I lost the key. I was able to move the slider around to turn the bike on, there are 3 wires. Any ideas how to hot wire in a switch to bypass key for now?
Updates Since Video:
I put 10W-40 into cylinders
I had a new battery on the shelf and installed, everything powers up. Horn doesn't work though.
Starter turned over engine!
Going to do a compression test next, but without carbs which I am reading is ok.
I drained the tank and the old gas is a mess in there. Going to use electrolysis to clean it out.
Parts To Order so far:
Bowl gaskets
1 Emulsion tube
New carb boots (lots of cracks in mine)
Sparkplugs
