Hi Guys, I,m brand new to this forum and also XSs. I have just bought an XS650 special 1979 barn find. It,ll start first kick but dies after a few seconds. I,ve had the air filters out and cleaned, The plugs are very sooty. I did have it going the other day for a while but it would not run without choke. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated, $tevie.  |

Stephen, welcome to the forum! Congrats on your find. Much good info here.
Check the numerous threads here and at other sites about bringing barn finds back to life. It's important to change that old oil and clean the filter screens prior to running. Flush the hydraulic brake system. Clean the carbs, really well. The carbs are in all probability really crudy and the primary reason she doesn't want to run. Spend a couple hours reading and you'll save yourself alot of time, frustration and money.
Oh, and have a good time!
