Purchase of used 1981 SECA XJ750

I happened to see a used 1981 Seca XJ750 for sale with only 32,000KM on it. I decided to go see it, and it turn out that the engine started, however it could not  keep its idle when cold. Seing the engine was good, I purchased the motorcycle for only $300 Canadian!

When I brought it home in my garage, I started right away to take it apart. Within 24hrs, I had the engine pulled out. One thing I found, was 2 BOOTS,between the carburators and the Intake, were cracked, which would explain the reason why the engine would not keep its idle when cold.

This is the crack that made the bike stall when idling when cold.

The engine while still in the frame.

Hard to believe the engine is out!

This will make a nice parts bike for my 1983 Midnight Maxim engine!

I will sell some of the parts on EBay to recover some $$$.
