How's everyone today! I found a 1973 kz 900, bike was rebuilt before parked, but had been parked for the last 10 + years. With power to it, key is on nothing illuminated. Will fuses only cause this?

You are going to need to clean all of the connections and probably replace your fuses. There are posts in this site posted by other members on how to do it.

There's only one fuse on a Z1, under the right sidecover next to the turn signal flasher.

EDIT: The ignition switch pin connector is inside the headlight shell. If it's disconnected there will be no power.

EDIT 2: If it's truly a '73, it's a Z1, not a KZ900. There are differences in wiring.

Judging by the condition of the bike it would be wise to check all the connectors. A shop manual would be of help for the inevitable troubleshooting and maintenance.

If not already done, would assure good ground connection where the negative battery cable attaches to rear of engine, which might be corroded and thereby failing to provide a good ground.

Good Fortune! ):

New battery? Prperly serviced & tested? you never know sometimes, so had to ask.

The flat top caps of your carbs looks like you have bought a set smoothbores with the bike.
But i could be wrong,(blured picture). If so a good catch.

Looks like 33's.
