Chris,
I recently got a bank of black BS34’s due to an issue I had with no 3 carb. Pretty sure I have what you need.
Pm me when you get a chance

The Kawasaki worrkshop manual says; "arcing distance should be 7mm or better" using the 'Kawasaki Elecrotester'. I dont think there is any question about the ignition once it establishes itself, its my thought that you have a poor connection which prevents it initialising in the first pla...

I'm caught for time and not really getting a run at this, but I put a coil/spark tester on no. 4 (because it was convenient). The spark would only jump across 12mm or so which, if the print on the tester is accurate is less ten 20K volts.is this in the range I should expect? Also the spark does not ...

Great job Phillips,
A different Green Meanie!

Manual tap is a better bet in my view. At least it works if the engine isnt running!!!! Assuming it does work as intended.. The vac port on mine is not connected and i just use the PRI position. AL Cheers Al, I was hoping someone would chime in saying that it may be an issue. She is starting today ...

I've been trying to figure out what could be the issue. As once it runs it runs fine so not like an intermittent fault, but it dose affect starting. As I said in a previous post, the bike came with a second body kit. The Blue and Silver, this was actually the original. The R1 colours are not the ori...

It might be better if it didnt start in some ways. If the IC ignitor is the same on the 1000R you might trying to swop them over and see what you get. Another thing that has tripped me up a couple of times is the earth on the back RHS of the engine. It persists in frothing up and oxidising and that...

So! Tried start the 1100r yesterday morning and it would not budge!good 10 min and could hear battery starting to die so reconned I’d get the multi meter and plug socket and pretend I know what I was doing. I didn’t get back to it till this morning but confident it wouldn’t start I was hoping I migh...

I checked the spark since, however in true ball breaking fashion, the bitch refused not to NOT start! Every time I touch the starter she fired! I’m sure she will be back to her shananigans as soon as I let my guard down or I’m relying on it, but for now she has a good spark and is running fine, I sh...

thinking back to your stuck pilot jet , I have 2 suggestions Both unfortunately involve pulling the carbs off and separating the carbs ( be careful you don't drop the 2 ball bearings on the choke slider bar) Once you have a stripped down No. 3 carb body in your hand, drop it into boiling water for ...

Yes, opening the throttle will help spin the engine marginally easier - it's taking less effort to drag air through the carbs. Unless you're absolutely drowning the chambers in petrol though, it won't affect the plugs. If there's plenty of fuel then sparks are what's needed. I would agree that an i...

Hello mate; As Al says, If it's all or nothing then I's be looking somewhere else than carbs for the problem - I'd expect the bike to at least be trying to fire if it was a shortage of/too much fuel getting through. Also, you say the bike was hard to start before the carb shenanigans and irrespecti...

I turn on the fuel as soon as practical, i exercise the key switch four or five times and also the engine stop / run switch. If it wont start immediately i turn it off and on again and try it again. I would pull full choke to get it to fire and immediately back to half choke when it started for pro...

Carbs all cleaned and reassembled. Jets on both sets are all the same size. Couldn't get the pilot jet out of the replacement body but it is passing carb cleaner so it should be ok. I put them back on the bike and the bike is hard start. It seems to start on an open trottle with either an open or cl...

Thanks for confirming Gentlemen.
I was about to chance it and then said I would check here just to be sure.
