81 Yamaha Seca 550

Well, I bought a new Triumph Scrambler and my brother is bringing home an old Shovelhead so need to make some room in the garage. Bike's got about 19000 miles on it. Was running last season. Over the winter I checked and corrected the valve clearances, now it needs a good carb sync and tune to get it to idle and run right. It's got a set of clubman bars on it and I have a set of Raask rearsets but havent put them on. I recommend this to someone that knows Jap bikes and is good with Carbs cause this is a 4 cylinder and has 4 carbs. I'm outside Philly near the Int'l Airport. Title is in my name.
$800 cash.

Thanks
Jon

How bout a trade?

I'm interested in a Smith and Wesson 638 Airweight Bodyguard in like new condition.

Also partial to the Glock 19, also in like new condition.

And if you have either of these and also have a nice left-handed leather shoulder holster for a Beretta 92, that would really sweeten the deal.

Let me know what you think.

One more try. I set the float heights and bench synced the carbs and put it all back together. The bike now starts and runs but the idle is all over the place. It revs high around 4K and stays. Think there might be an air leak, maybe one of the butterfly seals. But it runs and it has potential. The lowest I can take for this and have it be worth selling is $500. Trades also very welcome, including:
3rd Gen Glock 19 or 26
Smith and Wesson Airweight Snubbie
Mossberg 500 or 590 12 Gauge
Maybe a nice old wood furniture Riot gun?
Maybe a Ruger Mini-14 used but still in good shape?
Let me know what you've got.

Ask any questions, I am not trying to hide anything with this bike. It needs some attention but once its dialed in, it gets goin and corners like a dream.

I've got a ramp and a pickup I could help out transporting the bike too within a reasonable distance of Delaware County.

Update Bump:

Had the bike out on the road yesterday for a bit. Got it to sit and idle well around 1500 rpms. Like to get it right around 1300 but it was running nicely. Only problem was that it would rev high around 4k when squeezing the clutch in to shift gears. I'm going to keep tinkering with it but I still want to sell it.
