I do appreciate you guys trying to help me out, here. Still learning!

Looked like a mouse made its home in my airbox I think. Couldn't tell, I just cleaned out as much as I could at the time. I'll give it a proper cleaning tomorrow.

It turns out I'm an idiot and I didn't check my airbox and this was the problem all along. That's what I get for buying a bike I knew nothing about at all. Always check your airbox!

I take masochistic pleasure in doing the same task over and over again, so, yes? Also I don't even know if a manual exists for the Xs400k, can't find it anywhere. If I can find it, I'll check for proper float heights and adjust accordingly.

I haven't gotten to taking the carbs off yet but I'll definitely give that method a shot, for sure. If anything I should have them off the bike at least by tomorrow.

Where would I find a good replacement TCI module? I've been looking around and so far I've got nothing. As far as coils go, I still have spark even after the bike dies. I rode it around for all of five minutes after letting it warm up and it still dies and won't turn back on. Slowly starting to...

That sounds like a good idea, I'll check it out tonight and see what's up.

Hey, all. I've been going through and fixing up an 83 maxim for the last month or so. And although I've gotten through some of it, I still have a couple kinks to work out that I'm not quite sure how to solve. So here goes. As of a few nights ago I was out riding the bike around when I had a...

Still have the right side cover available? My 83 maxim hasn't had one since the day I bought it lol
