Bike keeps dying, high idle, help?83 kz650

The cylinders, carbs, etc are numbered 1-2-3-4 ... left-to-right ... sitting on the bike.

1-4 spark plug wires -->> right side coil -->> red/black igniter leads
2-3 spark plug wires -->> left side coil -->> red/green igniter leads.

My coils have + & - embossed on them, as illustrated in the manual. It says to connect the red igniter leads to + and the green & black leads to - .

This is weird but I am pretty sure when I swap my right hand side plugs (1&4) my bike runs the exact same. I will take a video later as evidence lol. Any who I got the stuff to sync my carbs and check fuel level in the bowls. As far as syncing the carbs go do I screw the screws down then back them out 2 turns then just sync them up?

Good Fortune!

Ok, do I got plugs and everything right. Is thee a good how to on how to adjust valves. I think one of my valves is loose because I hear a ticking sound and someone told me it just needed to be adjusted.

There is a great "how to" on adjusting valves in the Kawasaki Service Manual. It goes into great detail and gives photos that help make everything clear. Ed

Double-check the connections.
Also, make sure the spark plugs are correct & gapped.
NGK B7ES or ND W22ES-U ... gap = ~0.7 - 0.8 mm ... tightening torque = 20 ft/lbs
