Will not stay idling and have to use ether on air
Sounds like the carbs float chamber is low in gas!
Blowing everything out of the carbs is fine , but thn to reset and tune up is another question...involving valve clearance, spark plugs conditions /gap. Setting the air-mixture screw...
Can also be tht it has low compression on the cylinders.
Worth a try to tht other source of gas hook up whilst you there yourself.
Hope this helps!

Chain cleaning
In the long run... get an automatic chain oiler. You´ll have to clean your rear once in a while, but its much easier, than maintaining your chain.
It´ll be cheaper, too.
Oh, and your chain will last longer as well!

Install new spark plugs and go easy on the throttle when starting. A power valve squirts extra gas every time the throttle is twisted. Twist too often when starting and the engine floods. Please rate my answer. Thanks!
Need repair manual for 2002

Hi and welcome to FixYa,
If all 4 have sparks and 1 cylinder is colder than the others, then it would be fuel starvation on that cylinder. Almost always, it would be a carb problem. The carbs would need to be pulled down, stripped & dis-assembled and all non-rubber parts soaked in carb cleaner. Particular attention/cleaning to the jets and all the small / pin holes. Note the number of turns on the air pilot screw. Ensure float works on all specially the one for the cylinder that is cold.
Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
I have a 2002 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 I'm customizing it can the rectifier be moved so it's not just hanging there.
Absolutely, the rectifier on your Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 can be repositioned during a customization project. The rectifier is a crucial part of the motorcycle's electrical system, converting alternating current (AC) from the stator into direct current (DC) to charge the battery and power the bike's electrical components.
While relocating the rectifier, it's important to consider a few key factors:
- Space and Mounting: Assess the available space on the motorcycle to find a suitable location for the rectifier. Ensure that the new position allows for proper mounting and secure attachment without interfering with other components or the bike's functionality.
- Heat Dissipation: The rectifier generates heat during operation, so it's essential to relocate it to an area with adequate airflow for cooling. Mounting it in a well-ventilated area helps prevent overheating issues.
- Wiring and Connections: When moving the rectifier, ensure that the wiring can be appropriately rerouted to reach its new location. Take care to maintain proper electrical connections and ensure a secure, stable wiring setup.
- Protection: Consider adding protective measures, such as shields or guards, to safeguard the relocated rectifier from road debris, water, or other potential hazards.
Modifying the placement of the rectifier may require custom brackets, mounts, or fabrication work to secure it in the desired location. It's crucial to execute the relocation carefully, maintaining proper electrical connections and ensuring the rectifier's safety and functionality.
If you're not confident in performing these modifications yourself, consulting a professional motorcycle mechanic or technician with experience in customizations can be highly beneficial. They can offer guidance, expertise, and ensure that the modifications are carried out safely and effectively.
