  • Fuel system parts needed

    I have what look like four really nice carbs but all I have are the parts in the picture for each one. Everything else is missing. Screws, levers, rods, everything. I also don't have either petcock for the standard fuel tank. I'm pretty bummed about this, but hopefully someone has some cheapies I can scrounge?

    Dude, if that's all you have, you're better off finding a full carb rack that's complete, cause trying to find all those parts, will probably cost you more than a rack of carbs, and you still have to figure out how to get them back together as well, and then try to tune them. Much better to find someone with a complete set, and they don't have to be the same year, just not for an XJ because it's really hard to hook up the enricher/choke for them, since it's cable operated at the handle bars on them.

    PS, petcocks might be easier to just go with manual ones from mikesxs, unless andreas has some in his stock of parts, it depends on if you want to keep the stock vacuum function or not. That and the aftermarket ones will have one side backwards cause they are for one side, so reserve would be one way on one and the other on the other side.
