Got it started, but there are two problems: 1. Idles fine in neutral, but will kick and stall out when you put it in gear. Ok after it warms up, but I need to wait a few minutes. 2. Once running, it’s great for the first 5 miles or so. It then begins to buck and stalls. Any ideas?
Where does the oil go in a Kawasaki kh100?
The air is pulled down through the top of the case, along an empty space along the top of the cases, then spills into the area behind the right side cover where it can be scavenged by the carb. A pretty interesting setup if you ask me! This allows the fuel (and oil) to be pulled in right by the crank bearings for better oiling.
