What do you have to do to test start

Ok that should help me cause im pulling apart this rats nest of wires and going what the hell have i done to myself so i figured id find just the basic to start the bike, no lights or keys. once it starts ill figure out the lights and switches and keys and stuff. but one thing is for sure im gunna need a new wireing harnes and some conectors to replace the chewed up ones. any idea where to find that? i checked z1 enterprise and couldnt find a harness.

With a good fully charged battery, the bike should run just fine without a generator, rectifier or regulator, until the battery runs down.

Good Luck!

So patton you saying i can put a battery on the yelow red wire and ground the frame and i should be able to kick it and start it?

Yes, absent some flaw in the ignition system preventing a healthy properly timed spark.

Could remove plug and visually observe spark while cranking the engine over.

Good Luck!

cool thanks maybe ill git it started tonight.

Ok so I have the frame and motor ground the points and coils are hooked up and no spark. When I use a test light I have ground on the red/yellow that comes from the coils. This means that the ciurcutis complete right?

red yellow should be powered

right i finaly got spark it was because the point for the plug wire i was testing on want making good contact. but its all worked out i have spark now. so after i fixed the problem with the spark i riged up a way to get fuel to the carbs but it didnt work so good it was leaking all over the place and in turn i found out my carbs leak like a bucket with a hole in it. so the plan is to get a seal kit for the carbs and rebuild them and to fix the fuel supply problem im gunna clean the tank and find out what i need to do to seal it. then replace the fuel lines and go from there.

im gunna try to get some pics up of the bike cause i know how much i love to see pics even if the bike is ugly as hell. lol
