The workshop manual for a Kawasaki Zephyr 1100 says 2 turns open, then in another section says 2.5 turns. I have mine set at 2 turns open with a completely standard bike.
Contact your local kawasaki dealer .they may have a current price listing for your make of bike ,unfortunatly ,as the bike is nearly 20 years old they may not have a listing of what its worth .The price will be very low so don't get too excited in having a lot of cash back for it ..
Don't bother. They are hydraulic and rely on oil pressure to obtain a zero clearance when everything is OK. Your oil system may be sludgy or you may be using the incorrect viscosity oil.
The carbs have some very tiny passages that will easily be blocked by that varnish reside. You will need to pull the carbs and flush every jet drilling with an aerosol carb cleaner like gumout Remove the jet and blow the spray cleaner through, rinsing out ant gum build up. Clean all the passages you can find and the rest of the carb linkage and bod. Idle passages are vacuum drawn and if your manifold vacumm is low then the fuel cannot be sypyphoned. to keep the engine running. Vacuum leaks are common on bikes that sit because the hoses dry up and loose thier seal. Check all you hoses and replace any in doubt. Good luc And let me know, please.- Ned
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
