1982 Yamaha Seca Turbo (XJ650LJ) Had the carbs

1982 Yamaha Seca Turbo (XJ650LJ) Had the carbs rebuilt, and now my bike won't run. The bike sat for about 6 years that I know of, and I had the motor rebuilt and it started up, now after the carbs have been cleaned and rebuilt, and a bench sync, it won't start, what could be the problem?

Mine was stored for 20 years, I ended up replacing the seat and needles, cleaning them thoroughly and when I tried starting it, nothing!! No gas was going to the carbs, it turned out to be my gas pump, it was seized by the old gas remains 'varnish' so I had to clean it numerous times, soaked it in gas cleaner (short period at a time 15 minutes or so, being a very powerful cleaner, you cannot leave it for long without causing greater problems, thus I was able to get the pump going by boosting it with my car batterie, having more cranking amps directly to the pump, the pump was able to release itself from the old crusty varnish.

The turbo in my 1983 Yamaha XJ650LJ Seca Turbo is not spooling enough to create boost so there is no power after 5000 RPM

you either have a major air leak(that you would hear) or the turbo is getting a bit old.Also check the turbo oil lines.Make sure they are feeding so the turbo can spin.Hope this helps

I have a 1982 yamaha 650 seca turbo. I just bought it and was gone for two week on vacation. pon returning, my motocycle leaked gas from the exhaust pipes. So I cleaned my carb. Boiled it in lemon...

When the carburetors over flow enough to fill the exhaust, It is possible that the gas also went into the cylinder and flowed past the rings and into the crankcase. With the engine overly full of gas and oil you could easily pop a seal or blow out a gasket. Check your oil level. If it is too full , change the oil, it will not lubricate properly with all the gas in it. Check that your shaft seal has not popped out. Check the air filter, the breather may have blown oil and gas all over it when you started the bike. Empty your pollution tubes behind the motor( they will drain the air box). Get in the habit of turning your fuel petcock off when not riding. This gas flooding happens randomly in certain models but can happen to any one.

1982 yamaha xz 550 does not run under 3000 rpm

Hey pal, this bike probably sat 4 awhile right?
If your idle jet is clogged it won't idle, the carbs need to come off, turn them upside down and remove bowl to see the jetsIf this is too much then take it to a moto mech
