New to the Breed
27 Mar 2020 14:51
Good day all!
Rcently picked up a 1982 KZ750N Spectre for $400 and have fallen in love with the paint and style of this bike, I really want to bring it to full glory over the next couple months but first I'll have to get it running!
So far we've been able to get it to turn over, by all accounts it LOOKS like we've been able to get spark, fuel, air, and compression. It turns over on the starter and only fires if you throw ether into it, so it seems to me like our fuel/air mixture is bad or compression is insufficient, either way it's going to be a heck of a build.
I'll be in the forum a lot the next few weeks as I gather information, take parts out, and get this baby back on the road. I look forward to meeting you all online.
