I paid a visit and raised a glass, did call at his Mums house but no reply, I did not knock too long or hard and was not certain I was at right house,
Hard to believe a year has past 🙁Good find, I bought 3 complete gascket sets, 2 from the states who assured me vave stem seals where in sets, very annoyed when they turned up with no seals in
I did mine by just blowing gently through the pipe while the carbs where off and bending the tags to shut off when the floats are 2 m.m from fully closed, seemed to work ok, probally then worth checking they fully close with petrol 🙂
Nice one, hes a decent chap from the Wirral who has a few interesting projects on the go, if you let me have your e mail I will pass it on to him and you can sort out easier, I lost everyones contact details when i had to format pc 🙁
Hi Phil, was hoping to get across to see Peters Mum, did she still go ahead with the move across the road?
a bit suprising, someone from norway got a few bits, got another set of engine casings might put on e bay, a guy from liverpool bought frame and when he turned up also bought most of what i had left including engines, the cupboard is a bit bare now, a bit sad really was going to do another twin project oh well.
pointed a few people here, hope they turn upNot certain about the prices I paid you, my memory is crap, yes I have over reacted to your remark (nothing new there!)
Got to admit I never really thought about it before I put them on e bay, I am putting some of it to charity, and e bay. paypal fees etc, lets see what the bits make and I will gladly paypal you some to pass on to peters Mum if you are happy to do so.
Got to admit every time I see some of ex Peters stuff on e bay makes me sad.Your a good man Phil, apologies to you sir 🙁
A bit harsh there Phil and very dissapointing,not certain about double the price, I recall some time ago asking your good self about any more parts and that you where hanging back, then I noticed on another web site the very same day afew hours later you placing a add ” I have far to many z750 twin parts”
Not to mention you selling your
I have just cut and pasted this from a much earlier post from Braii, hope it helps, by the sound of it its a faily standard B1

model recognition b1 – b4
howdy folks !
i thought it might be useful to help you identify your model or prospective purchases .
at present i have a uk 1976 b1 , a usa 1978 b3 , and a canadian 1979 b4 .
and there are considerable differences .firstly engine and chassis numbers ,
and if you have the original engine and frame the numbers should be within 100 .
frame KZ 750 B
engine KZ 750 BE
B1 from 000001 – 1976 – P plate
B2 from 016101 – 1977 – R plate
B3 from 025701 – 1978 – S plate
B4 from 033101 – 1979 – T platewhilst the years of the models would run true in the usa/canada they strugled to sell in the uk .
kwakanaka has a b2 on a 1980 V plate for example !the b1 and b2 were almost identical ,
they had a coil field in front of the rotor and stator , and a seperate regulator and rectifier .easily identified by the three screw holes in the front left engine casing for the coil field , the front caliper being forward of the fork leg , and a round front brake master cylinder .
the b3 and b4 were also almost identical ,
they had no coil field , a different rotor and stator , and a combined regulator/rectifier .they have no screw holes in the front left engine casing , as they don’t have a coil field , the front caliper is behind the fork leg , and a rectangular front brake master cylinder .
consequently the crankshaft rotor shafts are different and have different torque settings .
in the uk we only got the B1 and the B2 models ,
in europe and the usa/canada the B3 and B4 were also available .
in australia/new zealand the Z750 twin is quite rare .the twins were Z750 in europe and KZ750 across the pond .
and there are a lot of imports in the uk at present .european Z750 twins have rear indicator posts on the tail light and a longer rear mudguard .
usa/canadian inport KZ750 twins have the rear indicators forward of the tail light under the rear of the seat , they have higher handlebars , a shorter rear mudguard , reflectors on the front of the frame and the sides of the tail light , and they didn’t have a seat strap .
i hope this is of some help and i will post photo’s at a later date 😯
Dont want to outdo you Phil, I got back from Italian Moto G.P on Friday 10 days 2,900 miles, spent a couple of days riding around the Alps, not sure if it was better than Norway trip last year but superb riding
