Hi everyone from Ventura, CA was created by TurboLTD1000
Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm new to the forum.
I've been riding since 1978 and have been through a lot of bikes since then.
I joined KZ Rider since I just bought a 1977 KZ1000LTD with an ATP turbo on it. It has only 7k miles on it, was owned by a doctor, then was parked in in a shop in 1987.
It cleaned up nicely, but still needs a lot more TLC.

I just took the carburetor out and going to clean it up, new gaskets and stuff.
I did a cold compression test and a leak down test as well. I'm going to try and post that picture now.

Yes, I got it running last night. I found out I had plug wires #1 crossed because it backfired out the carburetor.
I'm using a very crude gravity can just to make sure it runs, pic.
I still need to work on the brakes and lining the tank, much rust but saveable.
