Need Advancer ID, Please!
11 Sep 2007 16:43
As typical Kawasaki practice, they changed/refined the spark advance unit even in the first two or three years of production. :ohmy:
I'm SOOOOOOOO close to getting my engine together and running (except for cam degreeing, but that is another dilemma in my world altogether).
Yesterday I install my OEM ignition and my brand new spark advance mechanism and found out my ignition cover wouldn't quite go on all the way. Upon further investigation I realize that the spark advance is sticking out a bit too far.
I pull it and then realized that it is quite different than my worn out one. If I was a smart man, I would guess that my new unit is NOT for a Z1A.:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Here is a pic of the bottom side of the new mechanism. Can someone identify this for me please?

On the KZ440/750 twin/650's the bike model is stamped on the front side of the advancer.
At least the ones I have seen were.
I take it your's isn't stamped?
