I have never had to do one so i will Look in the haynes manual, i have ordered a new throttle cable it would be silly not to run the original oil tank Fingers cross the pump works i couldnt find replacement new online :/

Left to do on the bike! Head light bracket moves side to side. May fit the oil tank and new throttle cable, Paint the tank and few little parts make look pretty after the MOT! Insure it! Tax it ride it! Then end of the month pick up my daily i am going to have best of both worlds 2 and 4 on the road

i have a tank and pump but i need to re order the correct throttle cable that should lead to the pump and dual cable rather then single. i have been told 2 stroke pumps fail so hence why i premixed it was roughly 50;1

£5 to cap and half full or pored in how would i find the correct mix ?

Lol yes i do need one of them I don't know the mixture i just did £5 petrol and poored some oil in

Another silly question the engine is hot and the rad coolant is cold ? I used castro heat transfer fluid i am going to pull the themostate out tomorrow evening and test that. The temp gauge doesn't seem to work either :/

Hi Mr Fro, Never had to chop a plug i will look into it yesterday it just rained so will be later tonight, to check the plug

Gives it better spark ? I was told about it years ago but never tried it

Yes some people insist it is, but the "Chop" refers to chopping the power not the plug, so you can do a plug chop without chopping the plug. Confusing! Lol Basically it's just about reading the colour of your plug. If it's white you're too lean if it's black you're too rich, nice biscuity brown is where you want to be. Hi joeman, Thank you for verifying that, i will check it Sunday

Hi, Thanks for that little bit of information i will look into it tonight and do a test Sunday

I will order a new plug this week, and ill check the originall tomorrow and let you know if its white or black or brown

It originally had no wadding i have added some, i have no changed the jetts yet i have a 105 to go in, how would i know if it is running lean ?

Now running premix i only started it on easy start to hear it fire. This time it started by pullinh fuel through "> " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I have no fittef wadding "> " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Little update most of the parts have been paid for and some have arrived! I have had the lights working Carb cleaned out fired up off easy start.... Tank is full slushy rust! Replacement is from the donor bike! Should get a day this week and i might actually hear it run on its own steam!! Happy days

Oops

Thank you i will try this once i have time

Finally had an hour spare after work yesterday, removed the engine and fitted the donor engine as it looks like there is a good piston in it, good bright spark. Here is a up date picture main goal is to get the mounts tighten'd and carb of to clean full service then ill try fire it up. I have put the stand exhaust on it for now http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p562/classickid21/kawasaki%20ar125%2084%20b1%20build/7A17F1F0-EBB0-4F26-B939-E6795723167D_zpshhcv04qh.jpg Sorry for the poor angled photos http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p562/classickid21/kawasaki%20ar125%2084%20b1%20build/DA71AFAC-3A84-4ABF-9BDB-C81E3C397CF3_zpstaefxzny.jpg I still have a long list of odds and ends to buy.

Sure it isn't your old one It was brought from kawasaki dealer in 1997 its a ex show room bike 1984 b1 it was last road worthy in 1998 then i stumbled a cross it in 2011 in a corner of a breakers yard and paid £250 then 280£ on a spares engine. I will revile the reg plate later on I am 2nd owner on paper work, i am sure it has changed hands many times off paper work

Hi rennie, I have left it well an truelly a lone, as my build i only have an hour here and there every evening, but i agree it dose add character

Hiya, me too i will be renewing the colour later on same colour code and silver pin line, I love the retro clashy colours

I have a standard ar exhaust mircon full size and this mircon, looking into buying a £120 pagget exhaust

Ok was worth asking, i can get it shiny after a lot of polishing. P.s i still have the er5 i might keep it until i pass, i had a proper ride on friends private road!! So its in storage ready to ride in the future
