    Great work on fixing the carb. That to me is what bike building is all about.

    Wanted - SEAT: from 1981 xs250 or xs400

    Hi mate, I have got a clean 81 seat and tail light. Tail light would look sweet recessed into the seat fairing. If u r serious, I will find out cost of shipping to Melbourne. I'll try and get a photo of them but I am moving house this week so might not be until next week. Posted via Mobile

    New XS400 Owner!

    Nice bike - if you want quick and easy profit then ship it to Australia and sell it for $4,800.

    Westy's little tracker

    G'day Westy, That looks a pretty clean 250 - in much better condition than mine when i bought it. I have got parts from wemoto in the uk, gaskets and chain from Japan and bits and bobs from ebay Australia and USA. Good luck with the build and keep us updated on the progress. Cheers, PC

    Restarted project again

    Thanks guys. I'll give the carbs a clean & do some testing and update. I've got some larger pilot jets so I'll try those too. Hey Greasey that is the price I pay for jets so we probably buy from the same place. Posted via Mobile

    Restarted project again

    Thanks again Chris. I checked the rotor and all good with the position of the dot - I just had it in the wrong position when I took the photo. I rotated the pickup to and it made kick starting much more pleasant with no kickbacks. So on to the next problem. With mixture set at 3.5 turns out...

    Restarted project again

    Hey Chris thanks heaps mate, Your help has been invaluable to me and my looooooooong term build project. I will check the position of the dot on the rotor - hopefully I just took the photo with it 180 degrees out. Also, is it possible for the rotor to wear out to the point that the spark...

    Restarted project again

    Calling ignition timing gurus - I need your help. Based on the first picture I think my timing has too much advance. Am I correct? The second picture is of the rotor position at LF. Should I rotate the ignition to the blue line so that it lines up with the rotor? Does the rotor...

    Restarted project again

    Thanks Chris, I have been reading back over my original build thread and there is some sound advise there that I did not follow that as I was kind of hoping for the best. I'll do some proper testing this weekend and update when I have more info. Cheers.

    Restarted project again

    Alrighty, I've had enough of not finishing my bike project so I dusted off the old bike and got out the tools. I need some help with trying to get this bike back on the street. The pig just doesn't want to run. It is an '81 xs250 with xs400 barrels and pistons. Stock xs250 bottom end, head &...

    The greasey fingers build :)

    Hey Greasey F can't you just swap in the complete 250 engine for the inspection. It would be more straight forward than splitting the case etc. Then once it has rego re-install the 400. Not sure in VIC but in NSW you don't even have to start your bike to get it rego'd. :thumbsup:
