Just finished fixing up a 76 kz900 Z1 A4 - Doesn't have an Owners Manual...Anyone willing to photocopy one for me for a few bucks or sell me an original?

We need more info...have you modified the exhaust?...modified the air intake system?...modified the carbs? etc. etc. Then, we might be able to make a guess (educated) on your situation.:)

The bikes as original as you can get. The only thing I can think of is the choke. The choke got stuck a few times recently. ?Possible to foul plugs? Ed ;)

Absolutely!:) There are a few carb experts who post on this site who might be able to suggest appropriate remedies short of pulling the carb bodies off the bike. You also may want to join (free) www.wgcarbs.com to get an answer. The Kawasaki/Suzuki carb guru (who posts on this site) runs the above site and he is very helpful.

Welcome to the site!
The Owners Manual is a little booklet that gives basic info on how the ride/operate/maintain the bike.
The Repair or Shop Manual will give you specific repair/maintenance info. Many prefer the Clymers Manual, but you can download the Kaw Manual here:

Good luck!

Been off-line for a while. Thanks for the info. About the fouling...it was only the screw on cap for one of the plugs that was not right...runs great now. I do have a Clymers Manual. Regards, Ed;)
