Hi all
Proud owner of a z900a4 recently acquired. Needs a bit of tlc and I spending like crazy already - engines runs but misfires, has electronic ignition, no smoke but will do a compression test, the engine also sounds very rattly and convincing myself to strip and rebuild.
Had a 76A4 from 79 to 83, loved it, that had a rebuild (I did it) after the cam chain skipped due to worn guides and idler wheel - hence the nerves - but always promised myself another one.
Looking for any and all advice, want to paint it Diamond Brown like my old one, and restore to clean and tidy, not concours, and something that I can use as and when I like - pointers for paint, engine/carb service would be great.
It sits between a 68 plate 1200Gsa and a 2001 xjr 1300 which I’ve had for 20 years (that’s got z9 bars and a 4 into 4 exhaust.....).
Having played with it today, a big difference in the intervening 42 years is that I can’t see anything without glasses and I don’t seem to be able to move up and down without yelping ....
Thanks in advance for the help
