lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1982 kz 1100 d1 .ok , I got spark , I got fuel. I swithed the spark plug wires around and she pops out the pipes and the carbs. I ride it here, shut it off, replaced starter ,replaced carb holders. now wont start . I got a heater beside motor now hoping heating the motor will help. last winter I had no trouble starting. I aint as young any more so pushing almost 800 pounds by my self with out a hill just aint working. before adding starter with help it would push start and then start easy and run great. I just dont know what to try next. Its my only transpo and I need her up and running. got doc appt. to make . any one got any ideas ????????????????

Be certain that the truck motor isn't running, and that the truck ignition switch is OFF, and that the truck keys are in your pocket, all before connecting the jumper cables and any time the jumper cables remain connected.

Good Fortune!

A good ole carb clean can go a long way. Also may be due for a syncing.

also check the valves if you're getting a lot of "popping" i would start at doing all the standard scheduled maintenance.
when doing the carb clean, submerge floats in water make sure there are no leaks, check your float needles and make sure they are in good condition also check float levels, there should be a line on your floats that will be parallel to the seam where the float bowl meets the carb base. (at least that's how it is on my kz400.)

Well have you checked the Voltage to the Ignition coils? If low, then when cranking it will really drop off. Also the Carbs, when you've been in there, have you made sure the Starter Jet Circuit is clean? At the Float bowl, there is a small hole at the , leading into a drilling/ bore, through a hole in the gasket, which feeds the starter jet circuit. When cranking, no throttle should be used. You want a High vacuum condition at the throttle valve to Pull the Petrol through the Starter enrichment circuit. If you open the throttle, then the Vacuum is not there for this.

yep you got it . I was instaling the air box and decided to check the carbs again. all 4 jet screen had a bunch of crap again. and I had put 1 carb back together wrong. opps , lol. anyway I went through all 4 carbs they are very clean now and all assembled right .to tired after doc app. today , but I did rewire my bett. charger last night so to morrow I'll give her another try. got a feelin I got her wooped this time ..keeping my finners crossed lol . thanx to every one.

woo hoo got her running today then ran out of gas in 1 lbock . filling up tommorow woo hoo
