well, crazier than i though.... cant think of even one reason why the shafty doesnt run the shift shaft in the same position as the chain motor... but thats life

maybe call kawasaki and ask them?

The shift drum pins are clocked slightly diffrently and the holder (or front plate) of the shift drum differ in diameter. But the shift drum seem to position itself in the exact same position while shifting with the two set ups. Guess...same same but different !

Need to investigate some more...

*3 hours later*

Yepp...swapped the gear shifter drum to be on the safe side.
Thanks Etbike for making me aware of this ! :silly:

Uppdate: Removing old gaskets and glasblasting the case

Spent some time removing old gaskets and glasblasting the case. It´s now getting ready for paint.

Found that somebody messed with the case and ginded inside the case. Had to reinforce with some JB weld.

Couldn't agree more Zed ! :laugh:

Got the case painted today. As a Swede I have to promote IKEA that sell this perfect little spray booth. Mounted the engine on a turn plate and off I went..
