your a star sir,you going to stafford?

Hi Michael,

this time we passed three of those passes (Sella, Pordoi and Campolongo), and I haven’t seen any such signs. The “Sellaronda Bike day” was on Saturday, so the road was open only for cyclists on that day, and a lot of people were practicing already on Friday when we were there.

I heard that some people are complaining about the…[Read more]

looking good sir

That is a great idea. I didn’t know they did heat shrink that big. Just for information you can still get these parts new. There are some available here in the UK and also one of the Germans has manufactured. That being said it’s a great idea and can probably be used on other things too.

Cheers for sharing

She looked tired when you got her but now starting to look like an impressive restoration.

Well done and hopefully you will be up and running soon.

Hi KzKon and welcome to the site.

There isn’t a lot of Kawasaki 750 twin action on the web but as well as this site there is also a German site http://www.z750twin.de which is run by Michael who is also a member on here. If you copy the link and past it into google chrome you can use the built in translator.

I hope you get what you need from…[Read more]

welcome sir,photos please

I will check the connections over the weekend, maybe I will find the solution. I suppose there is also a possibility that the petcock is not functioning properly anymore.

Cheers, Marko

The petcock is vacuum operated. When the tap is set to ON or RES and the engine is running a vacuum is created by the carbs via pipes from the petcock which opens a diaphragm and lets the fuel flow. When the petcock is in PRI position this bypasses the need for the vacuum.

It is my thoughts the vacuum pipes have not been correctly installed. Th…[Read more]

Thanks KK!

I haven’t fix the starter clutch yet and I am not sure what has gone wrong with petcock valve, it worked fine before the “restoration”. At the moment, the fuel is not passing through when the valve is at “ON”, so when the engine is running, I have to put the valve at “PRI”. Is it possible that we connected the pipes wrongly or…[Read more]

A number of things could cause the issue. It could be mixtures not set right, blocked or incorrect jets, incorrect float levels or carb balancing for starters.

Have you removed and cleaned the carbs?

Hello Mungo6 and welcome.

That is a nice looking B3 you have there. does she run as good as she looks?

I also have a ZRX1200R. Like you say a completely different ride both of which are enjoyed for different reasons.

Whay electrical issues are you having?

Your not to far away from my sister in Camberley.

Glad you are enjoying the site.

Cheers

Great pictures Marko. It is good to see her running again. Have you fixed your problems OK?

Hello!

Few photos from yesterday’s ride. I found a newly paved road with lots of turns and a lot of fun!

Cheers, Marko

All sorted

Hi KawaKurt

My apologise for such a late reply but I have been away.

This does look like you are burning to much fuel which could be several reasons, all relating to the carbs.

The first thing I would check is that the choke is working correctly. A choke stuck on could cause this. Secondly I would check the fuel mixtures are correct.

If not a…[Read more]

It is amazing what you are making these twins do and what great action shots with your son too. Great happy memories mate. Respect and Well Done

I am loving the look Michael but I must be honest. That seat does not look very bum friendly . . .
