You've done an awesome job of bringing that motor back to life
it must have been a mess in side , going by that stain under the trolley in that before photo it looks like it had more water in the crankcase then oil

Somehow that nasty mix conserved the internals quite nicely. All parts but the head were salvageable, a testament to the tough construction of these bikes.

Irma has come an gone and as we now see the devastation in Puerto Rico I cannot help but being thankful. We endured a couple of days of hard wind and rain, but other than having no electricity for 4 days, the losses were minimal.
Having said that... it's on to regular life and my beloved KZ projects.
More updates to come my friends!

Awright then... SCHOOL IS OVER!
I am looking forward to Christmas break, and more importantly to continue work on my KZ.
I managed to disassemble the carbs on Sunday in preparation for a new jet kit...
Can't wait for the weekend!!!!!!

Spent the weekend chasing electrical gremlins. Both my neutral and oil pressure lights were not working due to problems with senders.
Wired my ignition, cut ignition wires, and did some tidying up. This is what it looks so far:
Found that 1/2 of my Dyna unit is working, with the 1-4 coil getting juice and the 2-4 coil being dead...
More to come... found a good deal on offerup for a new Dyna unit.... supposed to pick it up today...

Picked up a brand new Dynatek module in the box for $50 last night... yeah!!!!
Gotta love offerup. Apparently, the guy had it listed locally for a long time, and had not been able to sell it...
Godsend!

Excellent job, definitely love the idea of laying the engine and frame on the side to install. I used to do projects in the house. my wife went and got a glass top coffee table. Now I can't use it for a work bench. Great job.
