No Spark, Bike sat for 25 years

I'd see if the ignition coils are getting battery voltage, as all the ignition points do, is make and break the ground circuit, producing the spark at the plugs.

ok so the points seem pretty good(i think). the bike was sitting undercover in a garage but it was 100 ft from the sea... and i checked to see if the points where getting electricity but using a bulb and connecting one to the frame and one end to the spring thing below the point, i checked both sides and the light lit when the points where dissconnected im not sure what to check next. the crank position sensor?

thanks for all the help

or something i should be reading? i have a hard time finding stuff on this bike

Follow the link for the Z1 service manual, 98% the same..... Z1 Service Manual....

'76 KZ900 electric testing....

I'll add my welcome to the rest.

I've found a couple of coils have failed on Kawasakis, maybe a weak spot, age or just riding all year in the cold and wet.

Post some pics up please, it's always good seeing how other peoples projects progress.

Hemp sent me a private message telling his story and that i probably didnt sand down the points enough, so i tried that again and boom got spark, since the carb is good i guess the next thing is to get some oil and gas and give it a try :woohoo:
