Clutch issue

07 Sep 2017 13:44

Hello everyone
I just changed the stator and I can't figure out why my clutch isn't working there's a lever underneath where the stator plate is. I hooked it up the way it was and now it's not working

if anyone can help it would really be appreciated
Thanks

What motorcycle is it? Chain drive or shaft drive? Do you have the Kawasaki service manual?

He has a KZ250 single. The pic is a little dark but for me it looks like you unhook
the clutch cable on the leveler.

This is the starter motor relais (solenoid). It has nothing to with your weak spark.
Check the battery voltage, killswitch, ignitition coil, breaker point and your weiring
connectors if they have bad connections that can drop the voltage.
