So when I got it the front brake was seized, 2 left carbs were seized as well...Got it running over the winter...Has a weird Prob tho revs good in neutral but when I take it down the street it won't rev past 5k....I at first had the airbox out (i'd like to run pods) Ran like this with the pods Bumped the jets up from a 125 to a 135 (Ran the same) so I'm back to stock air box and jets...Same Prob....Could it be the Sock i'm using for an air filter? Maybe my toast vacuum hoses?....At any rate I'm tearing it a new one with this Fish Build...I'd just like it to run right you guys seem to be the ones on top of their Kawi Game

Wow, you're really making it look like a fish. Not my cup a tea but major points for ingenuity. Keep the pics coming.

Go green, buy a Kawasaki!

Is that from the Titanic? :lol:

Appears to be a stock Kawasaki electronic ignition (used with a separate igniter).

The timing advancer unit is mostly hidden behind the mounting plate.
The timing marks on the advancer are viewed through the window on the mounting plate.
