24 Dec 2015 08:24This is not a Kawasaki product... probably a Chinese drill that they put their name on... but I've had it for almost 10 years and it's held up pretty good. I haven't even had to open the spare battery yet.

If you restore a bike you probably restore other things also.

Worked on a 280 in the early 90's. The owner was too cheap to buy new fuel line. It caught fire in front of Chief auto. I drug him home with a chain. Mr. Toad's wild ride. :evil: Scared the SHT out of him. After that the old man listened to what I told him.

There was a huge recall program, including the 280's, to replace all the rubber fuel system tubing. Some chemical that was added to the gasoline after the vehicles were sold was attacking the fuel lines, yet Nissan was paying to replace the hoses for fear of damage to their reputation if cars started burning.

I've got one of those around here somewhere from about 20 years ago, I'll have to dig it out.
Make sure you clean up as much of the flashing as you can , it will make everything move easier.
Although that part can be pretty boring for a young mind
