kz 650 with gpzcamsProblems! Its ALIVE THANKS

JUST ONE MORE QuESTION?have currently completed my kz 650 with gpz cams with 25 thous milled off head with polished and proted rebuilt head with new bore 2 over pistons and new rings. I also have gpz carbs and ape filters. I have degreed the cams and it also has a supposedly rebuilt head. I am having trouble starting the bike it is kick start only and it has a strong spark. I also shimmed the valves to spec. Why isn't this lil bastard not staring any suggestions? thank you ahead of time!

Not sure, how about the timing? Maybe try a little starting fluid.

got a dyna s. So does that mean i need to time the ignition to make work i thought they kinda timed them self or at least enough to get it running without setting it.

odl666, I have the Dyna S and matching Dyna Coils and when I installed it I had to go through a two part timing procedure:
- Static timing
- Dynamic timing (Timing Light)

The Dyna S comes with all the timing procedure information.
Do you have it? If not, see here for the procedure I received with mine (DS2-2):

Best of success.

Yes i do have the directions to hook up the dyna s i have not static timed the bike but on the suzuki gs i had i just plugged in the dyna s and set it at twelve a clock and used a timing light later to dial it in. Ihave 1978 kz 650 b and i am located in albuquerque new mexico. Thanks for any other help that can be provided

If you have good compression, good fuel/air mixture getting into the cylinders, and spark at the right time, you should have a running engine. Check each of the basics. Are the plugs wet? Read the manual for timing instructionsand compare it to the Dyna instructions.

Good luck!

you need to install the dyna according to the directions, also, I ran into a issue with mine the coil wires were backwards, no big deal, swap them and its all good.

also are the plugs wet from all the kicking, if so you may have gas fouled them, and NEW plugs will be needed

i the problem is im not getting any gas to the plugs. im using 84gpz carbs 750. wat could be causing this i shimmefd the valves correctly. thanks

Begin by assuring enough gas in tank.

Assure ample fuel flow from:
Petcock;
In-line filter.

Assure ample fuel flow into:
Float bowls.

Assure float bowl fuel level is to specs (use clear tube test).

Assure float bowls are correctly venting.

Given ample fuel flow into float bowls at correct level with proper venting, blockage from the float bowl to the combustion chamber is usually in the carb pilot circuit.

Good Luck!

thanks i took apart the carbs I am also thinking maybe the carb boots are not getting a good enough seal any suggestions for adapting these gpz carbs to kz 650 head. I am also having problems getting the carb floats off becasue i cannot remove the pins any suggestions besides using something small to punch them out. thanks

Caution! You punch you break! You need a new carb. Very fragile stuff

Put Kroil on the pins for a couple days and see if they free up. Ed
