I had a KD80 a few years back, I didn't want to sell it I was determined to get the thing to run again, here's the thing, it had spark, great compression, new top end, basically all new internals, but the damn thing would not start up, timing was on just right, everything was how it was supposed to be, but it would not start, it was getting fuel too, but wouldn't even fire off ether. if anyone can tell me why please do!
my first bike was a '78 ke 175. bought it for $300 back in mid '90's. it was an awesome bike that left me with many good memories. i sold it to a friend of mine and he's still got it, although it is now no longer running.
hi, i have a 1980's kawasaki, orange, but i don't really know what model it is. it looks like this one but i has a taller gas tank, like the kdx..its 175cc. any help? thanks
i just bought a ke 175 for 50 dollars it sat for 2 yrs and had bad gas but put new gas in and it started in two kicks they dont look the best but they run strong and fun to ride
Hey Great Video.... I've had a few of these, Kd and Ke 175's. I still have a I believe a 1976 Kd 175, its the green with the yellow stipe. I'll get some videos soon....it sounds exactly the same!
what a piece of crap. get that thing out of its misery and trash it
