I think Phil is on about the air correction jet circuit. A tricky thing to get to clean out without removing the brass balls. Jon I'd like to know more about that circuit in general, to see an exploded diagram of a carb and the part it plays would be nice. Has someone replaced those brass balls with a threaded fastener, something that's easy to remove/replace or have I dreamt that. +1 on this.. I'm at a loss to understand how a venturi blocked with a brass ball causes this amount of grieve...🤔

Does the Canadian model have the lights on permanently so only has a dip/main beam switch on the left hand switchgear, no on/off switch on the right side? Pictures are showing alright, bikes coming on well.

Damn it, Ill see if I can figure out how to wire in the switch!!

I’ve had a few peeps ask about the clocks, needles especially. I replaced the needles with XJ750 needles. They are identical. I did have a spare set of clocks with needles, but they both broke when I was removing them. They were brittle, they snapped while barely touching them. Bastid. Picked up a set of XJ clocks on fleabay for $25 shipped. Needles were perfect and an exact match.

Anyone have any idea what this block is for, I picked up a Japanese harness so I could use a proper light switch, Everything plugs in except for this mystery block, Its under the tank by the coil, Its in with the switch gear blocks, I'm stumped....

It’s for the Headlight relay, jap spec only, you can pick them up cheap enough. Andy.

Havent sent the bodywork out yet, Painter is completely backed up, Prima donnas if you ask me..
