I subscribed to you a while back when I bought my first gt80, and you were a great help... now I recently purchased a ke100. Can’t thank you enough for your help kevin!
@@2strokeguru I watched your video about ignition , I was able to switch my ignition coil and get my 80 kd100 running for a bit. Now it won't start unless I push start it and it has to have the throttle wide open to run. Then it stalls. Am I able to clean my carb without having to replace the gasket and other stuff? I'm having a hard time finding parts and help in my town. I'm up in Canada , I really like watching your videos. The carb is spitting gas out when the cover is off and its leaking from the bottom.
@@2strokeguru okay Kevin so on the left side where the chain tensioner pushes against is bent and have been bent before ( I just bent them back in the past) and since they did that they are really weak at the bend. It is to the about to snap point and I was wondering if it would be okay to weld them for reinforcement?
Hey buddy! Your videos have really been helping me out a whole ton, i just picked up a 1980 ke100 and ive been watching all your videos. You gained a subscriber today
Very helpful video ! I have the same bike in India named as KB100 and no information is available about this bike. Thankyou for taking your time and explaining :)
Yeah. I was just watching your video again and seen that. I tried to get it out but it did like you said they do sometimes. I'll try some penetrating oil in it. I let some carb cleaner soak in the hole yesterday but really wanted to take it out. Thanks.
Kevin Bergeron, Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I just picke up a 73 g5, and was curious about pressing out the needle jet/ emulsion tube. I’ve done it many times on Honda’s but wanted to make sure it was safe to do. Any advice? Also, the filter/drain in the right side cover, is this threaded in or pressed? Manual doesn’t say. Hope you can help, thanks
Hey Kevin, what would you recommend for a broken throttle cable? Since I can’t seem to find any oem replacements anywhere nearby and they don’t make any aftermarket cables specifically for the ke100. I saw some universal ones that come with the entire throttle tube assembly, but I would prefer not changing out that much. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!
Have you checked ebay or go on Google they have custom cables you can buy a custom cable also the kh90 kh100 kv100 trail boss 100 all use same cables hopefully this will help with your search
Hello Kevin good video but I have a question?I have a 2000 ke100 and I have the black idle screw turned all the way in/tight and when the motorcycle is warmed up it still won’t idle.What do I need to do next to fix the problem ? Thanks
Where can I find a new rubber seal that goes between the carb and the intake tube? I’ve looked for days on different online retailers and can’t find it in the diagram showing this seal. I found it for the old model carb (with the idle screw on the outer front of the carb, but mine is the newer (1990) model) and I can’t seem to find this seal for the newer style carb. In your video, you said the carb spacer between the carb and intake tube was a different diameter for the old and new model, so I assume the seal is also different.
Excellent video! Searching for the filter that you mention at 6:00 (below the carb). I don't have one and don't see it on the parts diagram. What search terms do I need to use in order to find one?
Hi Kevin, i'm working on my KE 100 94 and i would like to know how yo pop out the thing of the min 10:38 greetings from Argentina. And thank you for teach us all how to repair these bikes :D.
Hola Campeón, soy de Argentina. Necesito conseguir el kit del carburador ese pero el 26mm que va con la gto 125 y el kh 125, sabes donde conseguir el kit de reparación?
Super helpful! Just cleaned the carb on my '76 KH100. The plastic idle speed adjustment knob that sticks out the top boot on mine slips on the knurled metal knob underneath -- so I can't adjust the idle speed while riding. Maybe I'm missing a part, but it looks like the plastic knob is just supposed to grip the metal? Got any tips to keep this from slipping?
I'm working on a 73 that's been sitting since about 2002. After rebuilding and cleaning the carb a few times, it only runs at basically full throttle - I suspect one of the Jets is clogged but I'm not sure how to clean it... Any ideas?
Hey Kevin one more question, so I have done almost everything and NOTHING is working. I was hoping you would help. So the symptoms are it is SUPER smoky, it won’t idle at all, it will only idle on choke, it has no power in first two gears but the other gears PULL, and it seems like it is sucking air...just replaced both crank seals and still same results. Could I have installed them improperly?? Thanks! Edit: no oil under the stator cover! That means left crank seal is good! So right crank seal again or what?
Hey man I'm sorry I don't get to call ya. My friend left already for new Hampshire so I'll bother you next time I'm into the G5. Thanks. But I have a question about a TS 185 if you have time.
Hi Kevin, Thanks for your videos, I've tried to adjust the idle of my bike (Kawasaki G7t), but know I can´t start it, I've put the screw 1 and a half turns but the bike don't start, the idle speed screw should be at what position? What is your advice to adjust it? Thanks
Hey Kevin how you doing I have the original carburetor for my 100 KD but I'm missing the float Bowl what size of a float Bowl would work on that and what type would I need to get that old carb working again working again thanks
Hey Kevin, what is the stock pilot (air/fuel) screw adjustment on the KE100? I can’t find it anywhere. Need to richen my bike up a tad for the winter temps
I got a kh100 sticker says 1975 but i seem to only find 76. But all ke100 and the AC100 carbs will work also with this bike will the covers also work. Or any boots that go to it. And ebay carbs are good ones to buy? Mine came with no carb or cover:(
Kevin, great video. Couple quick questions regarding my 1970 G4TR Trail Boss. 1.) When looking up and ordering parts, whats the difference between a G4TR-A, G4TR-B, and G4TR-C and how do I identify which version/model I have? 2.) I'm looking for a replacement air cleaner element (schematic aligns with G4TR/A/B part) part number 11013027, but only see one used one on ebay that's missing the foam ring and it's $100.00. Are there other air filters from different kawasaki bike models that would fit and work, or other aftermarket reproductions that can be sourced somewhere?
Kevin great video. One thing hard to tell is which bike model is which. I have a 96 KE 100. I noticed you mention the carb says the model number but looking at the screenshot there are multiple carbs with the same number but have different jet settings.
Willa newer carburetor work on a 1981 ke 100. I bought one and it fits perfect except the float overflow is on the wrong side and there is two extra ports that is in the new one
Thanks Kevin! I was kinda hesitant about checking the pilot jet because of the plug but was thinking I would have to. I bought a new plug. I think it's a ngk r. 11/2 turns out on pilot jet right?
Awesome information that I've been looking for. I just picked up a 1980 Ke 125 and having trouble finding a new carb. Any suggestions on a similar one?
I got ke100 90's.My carb is clean but why there is always a leaked. What Im going to do to stop leaking?. Pls help me. Is there any deficiency bcoz the bike is already old?
Hey Kevin, working on my 2000 ke100 and have a few questions. I am running my bike and am getting backfire and or bog on the acceleration of the bike. How man turns out does stock reccomend, I am at altitude so I may have to adjust accordingly. Are the needle jets interchangeable on the different carbs?
Would not having the grommets have anything to do with no idle?? I've sealed that air box, messed with the idle screw, checked the filter, and everything. BUT I am missing the grommets for the front and the fuel line. Does that pull in to much air and throw off the mix? Thanks so muvh
Just if anyone struggles for parts the bajaj kb100 built in India is a Kawasaki kh100 with the tank and panels off the kh125 so parts including carbs etc can be ordered new from India
Hey Kevin! Awesome videos! Just recently got a 2000 ke 100 in good shape for 200 bucks. Front rim was bent and petcock was broke. Got both from ebay. cleaned the carb and checked a couple other things you said to check on your videos but still cant get it to run right. It starts but races and dont want to idle. I had all of the jets out except the one that is down in in front of the main jet. I think you said it was the idle jet. Float is level like you said and everything else seems to look good. Bike was very clean even inside the airbox where carb is so I figured I would be able to get it going no problem. It is also smoking pretty heavy so I just watched your video about the oil adjustment and am going to try that tomorrow. Do you think that could be the problem?
cleaned the carb on my 1975 kh100 and it stopped leaking but still only runs for 5-10 seconds with the choke on. any recommendations on how to adjust the carb?
Rebuilding the KE100 I had as a kid with my teenage son. Love your vids. I was looking for the air box filter located on the case below the carb. Can you link to the ones you said you found on eBay? Thanks!

the older rectangle carb is made by Teikie its a great carb i just put one on my Kawasaki KDE90 bike build however very hard to find parts for if you cant find parts the Newer style carb is the way to go
Is there any way I can get in touch with you? I have several questions about my ke100 and it is my first project. Your Channel has been very helpful so far though!
Is there any way to adjust the idle speed on these bikes? My stock pilot jet wont let the bike idle, but i have a bigger pilot jet that makes it idle but its too high.
Frankie Marchese to adjust your idle speed is adjusted next to where the cable goes into the carb on the very top the screw you where adjusting is the mix screw not idle speed
Thank you, running great right now. Starts up 1st kick. How much transmission oil do the ke100s take? I have a 2000. Also should I use 10w 40? Thank you again! I checked the check bolt, theres oil in it but looks dirty.

@@2strokeguru okk I be been working on this bike I see no reason it won't work last time I took the carburetor off I mess with the floats it was leaking real bad so I took it back off and got it to where it seems like gas isn't leaking out but there still gas in the bowl the problem is it won't fire on gas but can fire off of starting fluid
I was worried about the round part where it goes into the intake I didn't know what size I watched a few different videos to find out what carburetor it's supposed to match thank you very much
Hey kevin i need some help i got a 1990 ke 100 it was setting up for a few months before i got it well i put some gas in it and it fired up and ran great. After going down the road a time or two in first gear i decided to push the bike a little harder shifted to secound and it started stuttering and then died.... so i walked it home pulled carb and cleaned it but now it wont start at all still have great compression spark and all any ideas what is going on
I changed the points and everything still no spark so only thing i can guess is i need a new stator do u know wheres the best place to get a stator affordable

Kev if you ever come down to Florida, I got a 72 G5 you can have. I've been working on this thing for months and cannot get it to start. Everything is good, compression, spark, timing, rebuilt it all... It will not pull fuel and start. I've cleaned the carb a dozen times and fiddled with every setting. I'm losing my mind. Come down and take it from me. I'm sick of this thing. It's cursed and I don't want it.
@@2strokeguru hi i have a 2001 ke100. I think i have it figured out from watching your other videos. I drilled out the little plug and found it behind there…
Can you please help me? My KE100 runs too rich, like way too rich. It starts up great, and runs good for 15~ minutes but when the engine gets hot it backfires, sputters and stalls. The piston and cylinder are full of carbon buildup, as is the expansion chamber. I can't figure out how to lean out the carb so that it runs longer than 15 minutes... Please help! I love your channel man you're the bomb! Thanks in advance
Btw i changed the fuel filter, cleaned the tank and petcock, new spark plug, new head gasket, cleaned the expansion pipe with a steel cable and drill, new 2 stroke oil, new transmission oil, new battery, and i tried to fix the carb but still too rich...
running too rich means its getting more fuel than air it causes the engine to run cooler resulting in carbon build up one of the most common problems is a dirty air filter or a air flow restricton like a mouse nest in the air box DONT run the engine with out a air filter cause that will cause extreme opposite problem lean condition start there and let me know how you make out
Nice Video! I had mine restored and modified to a mono-shock. Great bike. I had it for over 20 Years! I just made a video, you may check my videos if you like =)

I just bought a carb but it has three ports on the side and one on the bottom I'm confused on what goes where
One of the ports is black plastic
They are vents
@@2strokeguru are you sure my old carb has the two on the bottom but this new one only has one on the bottom

Parker Emeigh lol me too have a 91 ke 100 striped idle screw....thos bike was 1 owner..I.e me being the 2nd..has 750 miles...wont idle...
I wss told that its a cheap fix...like 2.99 for the screw..but they couldn't get it out...honestly dont know what they are talking about...
Is there any way to adjust the idle speed on these bikes? My stock pilot jet wont let the bike idle, but i have a bigger pilot jet that makes it idle but its too high.
Frankie Marchese to adjust your idle speed is adjusted next to where the cable goes into the carb on the very top the screw you where adjusting is the mix screw not idle speed
Thank you, running great right now. Starts up 1st kick. How much transmission oil do the ke100s take? I have a 2000. Also should I use 10w 40? Thank you again! I checked the check bolt, theres oil in it but looks dirty.
till it comess out the oil level plug located net to yhe kickstarter at where the kickstarter comes out od the engine and it 10w30 or 10w40 eather worksgreat
you are welcome

Is the Suzuki ac100 carburetor going to work for a 1986 kd80
Yes it will ke km kv kc kh kd mc1
@@2strokeguru okk I be been working on this bike I see no reason it won't work last time I took the carburetor off I mess with the floats it was leaking real bad so I took it back off and got it to where it seems like gas isn't leaking out but there still gas in the bowl the problem is it won't fire on gas but can fire off of starting fluid
I was worried about the round part where it goes into the intake I didn't know what size I watched a few different videos to find out what carburetor it's supposed to match thank you very much
I would like to be able to ask you a few questions first :)
When I looked up the carburetor it looks like it has two places where a gas line goes in
Hey kevin i need some help i got a 1990 ke 100 it was setting up for a few months before i got it well i put some gas in it and it fired up and ran great. After going down the road a time or two in first gear i decided to push the bike a little harder shifted to secound and it started stuttering and then died.... so i walked it home pulled carb and cleaned it but now it wont start at all still have great compression spark and all any ideas what is going on
king_ DENIER try changing the spark plug
I will try it tomorrow and lwt you know
king_ DENIER kool
I checkedd spark plug no fire so i got a new spark plug and still have no fire im not sure y it was sparking before but now its not
king_ DENIER you need to clean or replace the points you can use a nail file to clean the points
I changed the points and everything still no spark so only thing i can guess is i need a new stator do u know wheres the best place to get a stator affordable
king_ DENIER what did you gap them at and did you change the condenser
I had a professional in my area change the points and he gapped them i will call him and see if he gaped the points
And it doesnt look like he changed the condenser where would i buy one and how much are they
This bike went from my favorite to a nightmear in 5 min
king_ DENIER new points have to ask and find out what they where set to theas bikes are different from most
Hey Kevin I have a 08 1980 Kawasaki km100 and I don't quite know how to tune my carburetor because it's not getting up to speed it's supposed to be
Brian Abbott I have a bunch of carb videos the km and ke are the same setting 1 1/2 turns out from seat and float 24mm from gasket to top of float and make sure main and pilot jet you can see light through and the get in your carb bowl it located in the circle tube in the bowl
Thank you Kevin Bergeron I appreciate it very much but to be honest with you I don't understand what you mean because I do have a disability and it's hard for me to make sense of texts it's better it we talked, would you possibly be able to email me and I could give you my cell phone number and hopefully you can elaborate a little bit more on this topic over the phone

Where can I get a carburetor gasket or full carburetor for a 1985 kx100
A kx100 or ke100
Kevin Bergeron I meant a ke100 like my bike keeps leaking gas from the bottom
@@jacquellward6440 oh check out my carb talk videos its not the gasket it eather needle and seat or float adjustment
Kevin Bergeron so it’s not a gasket problem?
@@jacquellward6440 leaks past the needle and seat fuel level increases and flows out the over flow at the bottom of carb
Please send some KH125 parts to me 😭
Kev if you ever come down to Florida, I got a 72 G5 you can have. I've been working on this thing for months and cannot get it to start. Everything is good, compression, spark, timing, rebuilt it all... It will not pull fuel and start. I've cleaned the carb a dozen times and fiddled with every setting. I'm losing my mind. Come down and take it from me. I'm sick of this thing. It's cursed and I don't want it.

I dont have an idle air screw
What kind of bike do you have
@@2strokeguru hi i have a 2001 ke100. I think i have it figured out from watching your other videos. I drilled out the little plug and found it behind there…
No idle seems to be a problem with these bikes.
Great advice on the Suzuki ac100 carb, it’s much cheaper than the KE100 carb!
It is a good carb I have it on 4 bikes run great right out of the box
Can you please help me?
My KE100 runs too rich, like way too rich. It starts up great, and runs good for 15~ minutes but when the engine gets hot it backfires, sputters and stalls.
The piston and cylinder are full of carbon buildup, as is the expansion chamber.
I can't figure out how to lean out the carb so that it runs longer than 15 minutes...
Please help! I love your channel man you're the bomb!
Thanks in advance
Btw i changed the fuel filter, cleaned the tank and petcock, new spark plug, new head gasket, cleaned the expansion pipe with a steel cable and drill, new 2 stroke oil, new transmission oil, new battery, and i tried to fix the carb but still too rich...
running too rich means its getting more fuel than air it causes the engine to run cooler resulting in carbon build up one of the most common problems is a dirty air filter or a air flow restricton like a mouse nest in the air box DONT run the engine with out a air filter cause that will cause extreme opposite problem lean condition start there and let me know how you make out
Kevin Bergeron i've already checked the air filter, almost brand new, im fact it was the best looking part on the bike when i bought it.
Baqca Sanke have you cleaned the carb
Kevin Bergeron yes, many times. The needle is not adjustable: it has only one setting for the clip position.
Nice Video! I had mine restored and modified to a mono-shock. Great bike. I had it for over 20 Years! I just made a video, you may check my videos if you like =)
welch plug is for american EPA regulation. not to be tampered with.
You have to to adjust the carb Rember bike is worn not new factory adjustment is not the same
yeah i agree, but as to why it is there as i understand on car carbs was the infernal government trying to stop people from messing with the adjustments. i could be wrong wouldn't be the first time. @@2strokeguru
