Got new plugs for the kz400 and checked the point gap / timing. Checked for spark coming off plug and after swap of new plugs (PO had wrong plugs in) got a nice blue spark on both sides. Attached is a shot of the old plugs.

Tested the coil on the kz750 and it read well within the spec from the shop manual. Pulled off the plug boots and wiggled them back in to reseat. Thought about how I saw nice sparks coming off the points on the kz400 and decided to check the points gap and clean the points a bit with a business card and some brake cleaner. Fired right up after the cleaning.

Have to return/cancel my coil order from Z1 unfortunately but I'm sure I'll be ordering much more stuff in the future.

kz400 running:

Sounds good. The oil burning might go away but I'd bet it's valve guide seals.
