77 KZ650 FIXED!!! Wooo Hooo: Cold Pipes, Coil, Carb Story. was created by ShaneDude
1977 KZ650
Has Dyna Coils and Dyna S ignition
Bike ran great for 3 years.
I parked it in July after a long ride and let it sit for three months.
In October I started the bike and it ran funny. Looked at the plugs: #1 was wet with oil. At some point I will have to change the valve seals.
I pulled all the plugs to inspect them, and replaced the oil covered plug in cylinder #1. I didnt put the spark plug WIRES back in the correct firing order!!
For 3 weeks I struggled with why pipes 1 and 2 would not get hot. I pulled the carbs. Mostly they were clean. I was pretty impressed with how clean they were.
Put the carbs back on and got the same problem: backfiring and cylinders 1 and 2 not firing.
Called Dynatek.
The tech said the bike is put of phase and to fix the problem I should reverse the spark plug wire order.
So I changed the spark plug wire order from the Left Hand Coil going to #1 and #4 to #2 and #3 and vice versa on the Right Hand Coil. Now the BIKE RUNS LIKE A CHAMP!
Below is a pic of it today. Thanks to all the members of the forum who were civil, non-argumentative, and who sought to help. You know who you are.
I am very very happy the bike is running. Its a great feeling:

Thanks for responding.
As you are a moderator, I dont have to tell you, this forum is about Kawasakis, not ppl. I prefer you see the bike.
I hope its good weather where you are. I will be out riding on the bike today.
Have a great weekend.

I know whose bike that is. It was so familiar to me.
