The time has come to sell my GPz750A3. Its a 1985 model on a B plate. First registered July 1985. It is in original condition with the original firecracker red paint so has a nice patina. I have fitted some better side panels to it as the originals had worn through the paint. Fairing has a couple of...

I know its not the same bike(mines a 1985 GPz750A3) but I have had issues with poor bike idling and starting after rebuilding the carbs. I am now 99% sure it is the air filter not sitting properly in the air box( standard airbox and new genuine Kawasaki filter).. I think the plastic air box has dist...

MoT passed today.

Nearly finished the rebuild of my GPz750. Taken off the road in 1999 by the previous owner and left in his garage until I bought it in early 2015. Stripped down, cleaned and re-assembled using new parts where needed. Bought the Harris pipe before I bought the bike. Repaired and re-chromed that aswel...

Had the bike running again today and it does seem a bit better. The main problem I found initially was that the plastic air filter cap didn't sit down properly. It looked to be in position, and I had the bike ticking over at 1000 rpm. I then pushed down on the filtercap and the revs suddenly shot up...

I have a Harris pipe to fit to my GPz750A3. (Genuine harris not a repro). Tried fittting it with standard exhaust collars but hardly any stud is pokeing through the clamp. They are new standard kawasaki collets, the clamps that came with the bike and the correct head exhaust studs. Anyone else had t...

Thanks for the info. Checked the float valves against the old ones and the new ones are about 1mm shorter. The depth of the drilling in the brass bit is shallower. So I guess this allows for it. The floats aren't catching on anything. I put one of the floats in water last night and it seemed fine. I...

If I drain the fuel from each bowl I am getting about 60ml of fuel out of each carb. Looking at the tang with the carbs fitted to the bike and the bowl removed the tang is bent towards the floor.i.e away from the needle valve, so the float has to rise further to shut the valve off. Increasing the fu...

I'm really struggling now. When I took the float bowl off the bowl was full of fuel, like 6-7mm from the top of the bowl..when i take the fuel height measurement its still 20mm from the split line of the bowl/carb. Any ideas?
