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.
