Don't forget to remove and clean the fuel 'emulsion tube' underneath the main jet and it's brass washer. I use the pointed end of a wooden pencil and gently tap the tube out with the carb upside down on the bench. A lot of dirt and gunge can build up in there over time.

Nice!

Cant wait for part 3

[@thejunkman]

Part 2 is up

[@MuzzleMike]

Could look into Z1 Enterprise's . See if they might have parts for you . They helped me out for my old kz750 . Not the same but they deal with parts that is not made anymore.

[@ralphjohnson4041]

Interesting - the paint scheme is just the same as my ‘72 S2. Bikes had style then.

Must use the oil injection pump. It feeds oil in at disc valve. Premix fuel will cause disc to go bad, no lubrication

[@thejunkman]

Correct. However, it appears the injection pump was being used as the oil like is/was full and there was oil dripping out of it. Seeing what looked like premix in the carb as well was odd to me.

[@captainaxle438]

@thejunkman yeah when I was a kid, 1979, a neighbor had a kz100 that did not run and he let me take it and I cleaned up the carb and fixed other things and blocked off the oil pump and pre-mixed it and it was running and it was a beast. Later after he got it back, broke down and he's telling me a story about how the dealer told him it ruined the disc. Wanted me to pay him the $160 repair

[@thejunkman]

Part of the issue is these early 90-100cc bikes used a fiber disc while the larger displacements used a metal one. After 1975 Kawasaki switched to all metal on all of these bikes.

[@captainaxle438]

@thejunkman interesting design. Really powerful. Those were the days

[@pigteam1]

there all most the same as the suzuki GP 100 & 125 models fit a 125 piston and barrel

[@thejunkman]

I have to double check my sources, but I believe the 100cc barrel of the G4 and piston's just bolt on with no modification.

[@pigteam1]

@@thejunkman yes most 70s & 80s 2stokes are all the same can upgrade as its only piston and bore size changes

[@thejunkman]

There are some subtle differences through the models with Kawasaki, but a good tell is the engine prefix. If it is the same across a model, likely shares some bottom end parts.
