    Kevin I have two KE 175 carburetors and picked up a KE 125 carb on ebay a while back. your right about both carbs being the same but i did notice that the throat is a bit smaller on the KE 125 carburetor, slides are identical. Thanks for the video.

    Kevin you should do a rebuild video on the KE125. I know I would pay for that type of instruction.

    Hey. Thanks for these videos. I’ve used them repeatedly while I restore my ‘75. Quid question: will the ke125 run with a dead battery?

    Kevin, maybe you can help me. I just bought a 1976 ke175 that's been rebuilt, it ran good on my first ride then the throttle broke on me. I put the new one on, adjusted the cables, but it won't start or revs real high. I've played with adjusting nut and cable, but no go on it. There must be a sweet spot for the cables and the carb to work together. I would be grateful with any advice you could give. Thank you

    Kevin my 1975 G5 makes this zaping/cricket noise under the gas tank when I rev it, it sounds like its coming from the ignition coil but the bikes runes perfect no misfires so I'm not sure if this sound is normal. Does this sound familiar? If you wanna hear what I'm talking about, you can hear it in this kids video, its very clear at the 11 min, have you heard this? Thanks! ua-cam.com/video/G2TQFu1YVBw/v-deo.html
