Ello Everyone,
I am a young new rider. I grew up riding Dirt bikes in Oregon, now I have a streetbike while going to school in Southern California. I bought myself a 1984 Kawasaki GPZ750. Its fun, it sounds like a monster, but the carb needs some minor work, and the bike just overall needs some TLC.
I feel fairly comfortable pulling out a carb, as I have done this on dirtbikes but I realize that 4 large carbs is another ball game. This bike definately needs new intake manifolds to the carb, and Boots to the engine. They are cracked and I am spitting fuel from somewhere.
I will posts pictures soon, but I think I am spitting fuel from the carb. The guy that I bought the bike from said that the engine has a small minor leak that he repaired with super glue. (I think he doesn't know what he is talking about because I have pulled the gas tank off and didnt see anything), there was however a split in the fuel line at the end where it connects to the "reserve/fuel/off/switch" So I am just going to replace that and see if it works..
I could use any help or advice anyone has with replacing the boots & manifold. Cheap places to buy them? (dealer wants over $200 for 4 manifolds / 4 boots) I also need to buy some plastics covers for the triangle area under the seat. I don't want stock ones, I would prefer just like some aluminum or white plastic triangle covers over the fuse boxes etc.
Can you post pics on this forum?
