1990 kawasaki Zephyr 750 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Did it come off with those spacers on it? Are the spacers on the same way they came off? If they are not on the right way or in the right order or side they wont fit the way they were intended. I had a problem like that before when i was fixing a bike i switched the spacers by accident and the front disc brake was hitting the caliper.

At least one carb is flooding badly and will need a clean, but the vacumn fuel tap is also leaking or it is in the prime position.

check with linux and KDE systems KTorrents- ther is good manuals.

If your bike has a cable hooked to the tach and not electric then unscrew the cable and take out the inner cable from outer housing and lube it before reinstalling...a dry cable will do just what you are describing....now understand the cable will only pull out from one end..usually the connection at the engine....Good Luck to you friend....Tim

you will need to get rid of safety cut outs. i.e kick stand sensor,etc

new choke cable maybe. Or choke is not actually a choke like on a car. It is actually a fuel richener. There are three jets in each carb. The main jet, idle jet and the starter jet. The main and idle jet can be removed. The starter jet, which is key to the problem, is pressed in. It is the small brass jet by the main jet. This gets clogged very easily. You see, this jet fills a small chamber under the choke rod from the fuel bowl. When the rod is slid out of the way when you slide the choke lever back, the fuel in this chamber is pulled into the cylinder when it turns over. I had to use a very small stainless wire to clean it out. I used a wire cut from my wire wheel. Disassemble each carb completely. Soak each carb in carb cleaner and wash off per instructions. Then poke the wire into the starter jet until it goes through. You will be able to blow air through it if it is unclogged. Once you do this it should fire right away and then idle. What you are doing by opening up your idle screw is allowing more air in to pull fuel in through the idle jet. Make sure you sync your carbs too. Smooth idle is also dependant on that.

you can replace the oil sending unit and get a mechanical guage to test oil pressure. oil pump never if ever fail.

Put the Zeph on the centre stand Undo the bolts attached to the side stand and disconnect the switch sensor wires. Be careful of the spring. To put the new stand on, just reattach as you would taking it off.

Remove head light and mounting, clocks. take off the top yolk. the ignition is held in with screwed rivets, you need to drill off the rivet head and it will come off. take out the screws, a small set of mole grips will do the job. and replace with relevant size bolts when replacing.,

You have'nt left much info to go on! If the indicators light up but not flash, possibly the indicator flasher unit is not working. If they are not coming on at all, have you looked at the fuse and connections.

there is no overflow for the carbs and are vacuum fed, it could possibly be the fuel tap is letting fuel thru to the carbs when the bike is not running and going into the cylinders. good idea to take the fuel line off the tap and see if it is letting petrol thru. if so, a new gasket and seal set should cure the problem. otherwise a float in one of the carbs is maybe stuck open.

Take your serial number to the dealership along with proof of ownership, they can make you one from the number.

Hi, thoose hoses are there to open de petcock when needed (when vacuum exists you need petrol)
it could be the other way around or even one pipe from 1 carb to the petcock it would work ok
all the best to you

Please the air fuel ratio.

I turn the carb. upside down and set the float level with body

Take off the gas cap and place a long clear siphon hose into the fill opening . Remove the old fuel using vacuum suction. Caution: Gasoline is poisonous. Remove and clean the carburetors . If you tried to start the motor with old fuel the carburetor is now gummed up with varnish and will need a thorough cleaning.
Tip: If your machine has a plastic fuel tank always siphon out the fuel and use it in your car or lawnmower. Gasoline is expensive it is a shame to let it get stale and go to waste. Only metal fuel tanks need to be stored with fuel in them so they do not rust.
If the oil in your jet ski has not been contaminated with water (from not having the cap on) it should be fine . Generally, stroke oil has a long shelf life unlike modern gasoline that has an extremel short shelf life.
What your jet ski is worth really depends on condition, location, and time of year. You can can get an idea what it is worth in your area by looking at ebay, craigslist, and the local paper. Running your machine is probably worth between $600 and $1800.

Did you try ebay? if not look there it is a good place for things like that. if you have let me know what make and model it is.

Check the timing on the bike and make sure that everything is at top dead center when you check the valve gap. Otherwise, I think your neighborhood mechanic is probably correct.

has all you ever want to know about the kz bikes..

It is is firing out of the carb and the exhaust, the timing must be off, but also slipping. Is the flywheel tight? https://www.google.com/search?q=1984+kawasaki+klt+250+backfiring+problem ..
