she took me 3 months but i did it, she idles really high though, i didnt get to mess with the choke or throttle screw but what could it be? im new to the kz, i found this thing for 400$ and had no mechanical experience, but i ripped her apart and fixed her up

Check the idle screw and also check your throttle cables to see if they're hanging up. Use cable lube, apply from the throttle side and see if rusty fluid pours out the bottom.

oh it has been, the airbox situation was tricky, had to go with the cone filters, but it wont start without starter fluid, i have spark in both plugs, but it might be a weak spark, one terminal in my battery has no acid could that be it?
