As a mechanic I'd say you can do it. Definitely invest in a 4 dial carb balancer as they are not that expensive and you'll be able to set the carbs perfectly. Definitely fully overhaul the cabs with new needles seats and all orings👍
Thanks for the tips! 😁👍
Bloody brilliant chops shes alive
Great chopsy it runs. One tip I can give you is with these older zx is the vacuum pipes are everything to making them run great even the smallest leak or even not having the air box on can make them run like crap. So I wouldn't take the engine apart yet do spark plugs, coil packs and check even vacuum pipe. Oh and one last thing that catches everyone out regulator rectifier are a common fault
Great tips thanks 👍
Good stuff Chopsy. Old Kawasaki’s are so well engineered and resilient that it makes it totally worthwhile to save this one. At the end you will have a real conversation piece that will be a joy to ride on those special Sunday morning blasts through the countryside. Well done sir.
Looking forward to future vids mate 👍
Before you strip the engine, plug the plugs out 1 at a time & check that they are sparking on turn over (ground them on the frame when you do so - no modern electronics to fry I presume).
Then borrow a compression tester to check whether you’ve a ring gone on 1 cylinder (hopefully not).
Go on from there as needed.
Agreed you must have been where Chops is now
Amazing, the toughness of Japanese mechanical engineering never fails to impress. Loving this series chops👍
Yay she's alive! Can't wait to see this baby back on the road! 🔥🔥
Brilliant stuff. I had the same euphoric moment a few years back, when a neglected 30 year old Triumph Trident Sprint 900 I was restoring, fired up. I was also out of my comfort zone pulling it apart and building it back up, but the knowledge gained and the fun had along the way, was priceless. I look forward to your next uploads. Take care for now.
YES! She's alive! Well done Chopsy for getting her going. I can sleep tonight now. Look forward to seeing the rest of it in a few months. Now, on to that Ducati.....
I’ve done a ‘99 XJ600 recently, that had been sitting for years. It sounded awful and smoked on the first start but with a new battery, spark plugs, a…. lot lot lot lot….of carb. fettling (a few spare sets were required to make a good set) followed by some careful balancing and it sounded as sweet as a nut.
The more I ran it, the sweeter it became.
DON’T STRIP THE MOTOR 😉
I liked your note about Carb fettling, I've just had close-on 6years getting my basket case ZXR750 L3 back to some sort of organised Carb / filter, pulsing, jetting and adjustment equilibrium. But I think I'm almost there!
BRILL - It runs which is a major milestone!
Looking forward to the next episode.
4-takt (pronounced "tucked") = 4 stroke.
Loving the project, can't wait to see it finished!
Tentative first steps Chops, she needs some love…but she turns over & fired up, which is a positive start!
My ZXR has been at Raceways in Stevenage having the carbs sorted. Mine was starting, revving and ticking over fine, but bogs down when you pull away, making junctions decidedly hairy! 😮
The carbs were pulled apart, sonic cleaned, but still not quite right. So they’re pulling them apart again, another sonic clean, genuine carb service kit etc.. Also going to check the valve clearances incase they’re a little tight.
I reckon project ‘Green Meanie’ is a go mate! 💚👊🏼
This is good stuff. Restoration is a form of recycling which we should all be doing more of...I really like the idea of taking something neglected, working out what needs to be done then returning it to how the manufacturer intended it to be.
Shes ALIIIIIVE!! Nice one Chopsy. Looking forward to this one. Be a good challenge. I have full faith in you!!😉 Nothing a chisel and hammer cant fix👍😂
Haha thanks Jason! 😁👏
Great to hear it start.
It's definitely worth saving.
Nice one Chops, got her running, bit rough but you'll sort that in time cant wait for this one to start 👍👍👍🤞🏻
Thanks buddy 😘 👍
Love these garage builds. When you get that Kawasaki restored it's going to look the Dog's Bo##**ks 👍
One of my favourite looking machines from back in the
day.
Awesome going Chops 😊👍
Thanks 👍
Nice work Chopsy. Really looking forward to seeing you work through the bike.
It’s the best feeling when they finally fire into life 😎
Nothing in the universe better than a bike start up video. All the excitement, none of the danger 😉😂👍
Loved that very much took me back to cold winter mornings as a dispatch rider trying to start my bike.I was willing your bike to start like a goal for Arsenal! Love the ZXR back in the day it was that or GXR-1100 .got GXR in the end but keep the good work going fantastic
Great to see one of these beauties, so good you got her started.
This is why I love the ZXR. I knew it would run. My C2 9r's were the same when left sitting for ages, and always came good with minimal work. Even after maximum neglect.
This 750 really makes me to hunt down the late-spec ZXR400 i've wanted since I was 20 🥰
Keep it going Chops. I'm lovin it more than a Maccy D's
Enjoying watching this Kawasaki gem come back to life. Keep up the good work Mr Chops!! loving it 👍👍
Glad you enjoy it! 😁👍
Great project bike with plenty of patience... keep it going, I personally wouldn't have a clue where to start!
Yeah you and me both! 😆
@@LambChopRidesdo you have a service manual yet , you definitely need it
hammering down outside first coffee of the day watching chopsy wicked
That's definitely a 1989 H1 that you've got there, that would have been registered in 1990. The fairing is H1 (different stickers to the H2), H1 black mirrors (H2 are green), H1 flat coolant rad and external oil filter (H2 is curved rad and internal filter) and the carbs will be 36mm bore rather than the 38mm on the H2. Someone has fitted a later H2 swingarm though.
As someone else mentioned try LiteTek for the carb seals. They are made from more modern materials that'll hopefully stand up to newer unleaded fuels. They are in Thailand so you my have to order them as soon as you can because they may take a while to arrive.
Let me know if you're stuck for any parts, I might be able to help. I've got plenty of leftovers from restos.
Thanks for the advice 👍
Thats what I thought, H1 with a H2 swingarm 👍
Universal truth about 90s project bikes...you'll need to replace or service everything from the fuel cap vents all the way to the jets. Electrics dont last forever, so test. Check spark, compression, valves. Looking forward to the next vid👍
Superb news.A Bike from back in my day.👍
Great the bike started now look forward to your restaration of the bike.
Really loving this mate be great to see it up and running.... Looking forward to future videos and especially such an iconic bike
Awesome it’s running even if it’s not yet sounding lovely ! Really loving the rebirth of this ZXR750, one bike I’d love to have again !!
Can't wait to watch the full build takes me back to binge watching the fireblade build
Can't wait for this project. We will all learn from it. Well many of us, like me who haven't got a clue!
Well that was a result, Its amazing how much you can progress in one session of tinkering. With regards to the restoration this bike is certainly worth it. You are fast becoming the Mat Armstrong of motorbikes !!
Love it Chopsey, can’t wait to see you restore this bike. It’s a great learning experience for me as I’m going to be doing the same thing shortly. Just looking around for the right bike just now. Magic stuff! 🙌
Really looking forward to this series chopsie
It's alive! So glad she's not off to the parts bin just yet.
Have the carbs ultrasonically cleaned. Harpers ultrasonic can rebuild them for you .
Valve clearances will need doing. But if your doing that you might as well do the valve seals . Great video.
Thanks for the info! 👍
Great vid Chops. Looking forward to seeing more. Would love to tackle a project like this!
Thanks Dan 👍
Looking forward to seeing the rebuild, roll on the winter.....
Nice work Chopsy
Chris at 44Teeth had his carbs rebuilt, he may be able to give you a contact. Long term it’s worth having them professionally rebuilt. Great series dude 👍🏽
Mr Chops knows what he's doing I think, it's not that hard really once you give it a go. Plus it's an excuse to buy an ultrasonic cleaner if he doesn't have one 😎
rebuilt carbs is an easy job . Before the internet shit like that got done in the kitchen
Been waiting for this. Before you try and start it I will say , yes it will fire up
I was so happy when it fired up.. life in the old girl yet.. well done buddy.. looking forward to seeing the progress.
I absolutely love this content. It's great to see you finally got it running, Chops. Seems like hassle but rewarding in the end. keep this going its brilliant to watch 🔥👍🏻👍🏻
Good work Chops. Glad you got it running. Looking forward to the series!......
we'll come along for the ride mate, awesome to watch
Thanks buddy 👍
Thanks Chops for this video I finally got my ZX7R to run after watching this.🤙
Good on yer Chops, she lives. Great beginning, will look forward to this series, Stinky Pete
Well done for getting running Chops great work dude 😊👍👍Pete
Clean cam tensioner, balance carbs, run up to temp, make sure fan runs, pull clutch in and out loads to un stick plates keep doing that for a week if all good change oil/filter, clean tank put inline filter, in then wonder up and down the road, slowly.Then brakes, suspension,tyres then dyno 110 bhp if a good one 😅
Good luck Chopsy. Great idea for some winter content ❤
Do a compression and leak down test, then you will know the state of the valves, piston rings etc. at the very least the carbs need a good strip and clean in an ultrasonic cleaning tank but I personally would do a full strip and rebuild, then a bench test/setup before dialling them in by balancing then properly. It’s all easy stuff.
Also if you haven’t make sure your air filter is good as it may have been a mouse house.
Great video series . Mavis will have lots of good advice.
Good to see it run, gives a bit more enthusiasm
Good stuff mate
Its alive!!! 👍👍
Nice video Chopsy. I do love a bike build series. Glad it was running, I know it was a little rough but that’s to be expected really.
Good luck with the full build. Just remember bag all the bolts up and label where they are from haha. Save a lot of agro. Carnt wait for the next videos. I do love that bike 👍🏻
Interesting vid Chops. You did well to get that running again but looka like you've got a fair bit of work ahead of you there. Although you've got all winter & sounds like it'll all be worthwhile if it goes accordingly to plan. Best of luck mate, I will watch each episode with Interest.
I did my first top end rebuild a few months ago. Check compression 1st it will tell you if you need to pull it apart. My compression dropped bad so I pulled top end and changed rings and found 1 valve was destroyed. Changed them and she started right up, running great.
A carb refurb and new plugs chopsy that may well do the trick also new fuel pump. That’s what I’d do rather than pulling it apart further could well sort it. The smoke and crap out of the exhaust may well clear likely due to standing for so long. Good luck 👍
Almost can't wait for the next video on this restoration! Hoping it's not far away now 😁
Looking forward to the next one mate 👍🏻
Bloody brilliant m8 can't wait to see more
Thanks Mark 👍
Absolutely love this series already! 👍🏻😎
I've seen you build Beastie, this rebuild won't be a problem for you.
So weird seeing someone doing this in 2023. I almost feel like your messing with mine. I went through so much back in the day with the build of my special one & i built a motor for my mates H1. A bike ive been looking for since my mate was taken early. As someone said in part 1, you have a few bits from different bikes there. Awesome to hear her come to life. Did you ever see the Bloodrunners film? A guy calked Andy Sparrow did a cartoon in Bike magazine & then a film. The main dude in the film rode a modified H1. I spoke to andy a few months ago & he told me the ridder was a very young Dave Coates. The ZXR750 was a dream bike for me when i first saw one in Bristol in 91. I became obsessed. I have a few in the ZXR family. Im excited to see this series. I can't remember where in the country you are. Im in Weston-super-Mare if you need any advice give me a shout. 🤘
Thanks buddy might do that 👍
Well done so far mate!
Love these fixing restoration bikes vids, I’d like to restore an old skol Kawasaki myself one day
Welldone Chops, prt sorted. I think you will surprise yourself with this and it will end realy good
Really looking forward to this series 👌
Loving it. Go for it. Make a school day for us all.
PS Ducati first before I forget what it looks like 😀
Oh yes 😁👍
Sounds rougher than a badgers bum! LOL! But seriously, it's just a bit clogged up from being garaged for 10 years. A good dry ice cleaning all over, inside and out, new fuel lines, spark plugs etc and I think you've got a really good keeper. LED light bulb replacements? Love it. I'm such a Kawasaki fanboy.
Don't worry about it Chopsy you`ll be right mate, looking forward to see the rest of the rebuild
Loving the build series chops. Keep up the good work sir. 🫡
Love it looking forward to you getting in to this one 🏍️
Nice pack my friend I hope you get it running good like to see it go down the road ride safe
Fantastic project .
Great job. ZXR lives. Take your time and check the basics plugs carbs etc. looking forward to it 👍
I was shouting at the TV get it outside chops! all that fuel on the floor, battery charger on, just a spark needed and ya garage turns to ash!! loved the vid, edge of the seat stuff.
Looking forward to seeing this take shape! Seams a solid bike that in need of some tlc. 👍
Old Kawasakis run smoother when they are hot. They have always seemed a little rough when not ridden to get them warmed up. They loved to be revved, on the limit, all of the time. My ZX9R is one of the best bikes I have ever owned (had over 100).
Hi Chopsey. Sitting down enjoying my bacon butty watching the vid and almost choked on it when I see the fuel pouring out between cylinders 3 and 4!!! Hope you have a good insurance policy lol. Looking forward to the rest if the series on this marvellous bike. Best and stay safe,Old Bloke.
A classic rebuild - I am sure the end result will be brilliant and within budget🙂
Good job and getting it fired up even if it's not running great... Least you know it runs
Congrats on getting it running - have a similar project so looking forward to learning with you 👍🏻
I bet those carbs will be okay after a bit of a clean, etc 😊
Bless the dear old zxr ❤ Float valves always get gunked up, any particles will cause the float bowls to overflow. You'll need to clean the plugs again after the bike flooded, this might help it fire on all 4 properly. Do a compression test to make sure all the cylinders have similar pressure...check the valve clearances.....balance the carbs and it might run fine. The head will need to come off if oil is getting past the valve guide seals, but cross each bridge as it comes along.. it sort of runs, happy days Chopsy 👍🙂
looking forward to nxt few months following your success
Do it chopsie! But make sure you film it all!! This is gonna be very interesting....👍
That's the plan! 👍
That ZXR750 is on the operating table and Dr Chops is undertaking the life saving operation
Love that you guys are just jumping in the deep end with these bikes! You and the mrs using a trolley jack to whip an engine in and out brings back good memories of working and improvising on bikes with my dad as a kid when you dont have or cant afford all the specialist tools. Looking forward to how you guys get on and im sure they are going to be cracking bikes!!
Haha thanks buddy 😁👍
Great to hear it barking into life Chopsy .👍 sounded good in the end running , be great to see how you get on with the engine Etc in the future. The marigolds are the business 😁😁
Thanks 👍😁👍
Great vid chopsy. I was cringing when the fuel was pissing out thought you were going to blow yourself up.
Great videos chops don’t forget to replace all the rubber hoses if you go for total rebuild the dreaded E10 rots them very quickly all the best Les👍
Well you got it running 😊 ,
Should be a good restoration video to watch ,
Great fun, love your garage vids 🤓👍🏻 you need to get mavis a mask 😂😂
Absolutely brilliant chopsy so looking forward to watching it I’m exactly same in terms of skills and you are probably inspiring a lot of others to ‘have a go’ as you say it’s a big learning curve. I had one of these back in day so it’s special to me as well. I had a 1995 L1 I think it’s was the blue/purple/black and it was my first brand new sportsbike and paid £5995 !!
Thanks buddy, yeah dreaming of the day I can take it out for a Sunday morning blast 👍
Well done lambsey successful starting!...check the corresponding header pipe if the cylinder fires....there's plenty tweeks for carbs..adjustable/shim the needle by dynojet jet kit..nice bike.
Love these vids, glad you were able to get it started, with all the fuel poring out I was concerned you might end up being well done Lamb chops.
Sounds good mechanically… strip, ultrasonically clean the carbs and rebuild with new diaphragms etc and balance the carbs and it should be good… after a valve clearance check/adjustment 👍
