Hello,
Picked up a 1982 xs 400 last week, starts fine but I've had to turn the idle revs way up because it dies if idling at low revs. The battery is too low to use the electric start so I'm replacing that however that. The air box was swapped for air filters by the previous owner so I'm thinking carbs may need rebalancing? or cleaning?
Has anyone had these problems? I'm not all that mechanical so could use all the help I could get! also if anyone knows any mechanics in the south of England that specialise / are good with XS400's I would love some names!
Cheers!
