78 KZ400 - new project
« on: August 19, 2019, 09:12:50 PM »
Hey all, after seeing a kz400 made into a a sweet tracker I decided I wanted one. Plus its a twin which I love the sound of. Literally just picked it up yesterday. I am a noob to working on bikes although I"m 80% finished with a Honda cb750 I've been putting together and customizing.

A couple things I've noticed... I put gas in the tank and the petcock leaks out the bottom front. Basically where the turn valve. Then gas also comes out the carb drain lines as well as somewhere on the bottom of the carbs. Like a sieve.

Can anyone tell me where to start with these? Obviously I need to rebuild the petcock (or get a new one). But besides getting two carb kits is there anything else I should do as well?

Also anyone know what kind of oil to run in these things?
