    82 Seca - As Found Jetting Questions

    Hi, all, My son bought an '82 Seca 400 6 months ago and now he's upgraded and sold the Seca to me. When he first got it, we completely disassembled the carbs, cleaned 'em (Simple Green, aerosol carb spray, compressed air) and put 'em back together. The bike has always run great for him. I...
