Hi guys!

my coworker gave my a 78 KZ650, mostly complete but in need of repair. I spent a little bit today poking around the bike and realized it needs more than just a "little TLC"
I did realize it has a Dyna coil ignition upgrade and new Michelin tires. 4 into 1 exhaust and the engine spins over. Ive never had a old 4cyl MC so any helpful advice, links to online information sources, videos, etc will be super helpful.

Thanks! Change my user name to TX_KZ650

Here's pics of my new to me project.

I need to fully go thru the carbs to start. Clymers manual or factory service manual (if I can find one)
Any good online resources to help me go thru the carbs?
