thank you for making these videos Kevin, it helped me a lot. I found a bike I sold in 1983 and am glad to get it back, cleaned the carb today and it's working awesome - all the best.
Dude tgankyou soo much... I got a 1981 ke 100 and im experiencing a bog down in power as I go full throttle so im gonna go for it tomorrow.. Im gonna pull my carb and try to clean it up!!! Ive watched the video twice already,, and am confident now!!! Thank you! Cheers from Sacramento ca
GOD BLESS YOU KEVIN,U R HELPING A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IM LEARNING A LOT FROM YOU. BUT I JUST CANT STILL FIND THE RIGHT ELECT.IGNITION FOR MY 1980 KAWI KE 100 WITH BREAKER POINTS IGNITION.
It bogs so bad. When the fuels about to run out with the petcock off it riiiips!!! It ejected it's tail pipe somewhere in the woods when the kid took his first ride. Didn't realise it was missing till way later. And he was hammering the throttle. It came back all boggy. The carborater is all outta wack. I'm going to step by step it to this video. I've got a million questions sorry to bug you
I should have been more specific with my last question do they make an oem bowl for that 79 k d 100 I need to find a picture of the carburetor Bowl so I can get the right one
Kevin - My '93 KE is almost running. It appears to be getting a lot of fuel on the spark plug. Runs for a second then stops, smokes a bit too. I have the newer Carb minimal external adjustments. Is my float adjustment off?? Is that why I am flooding and stalling? I cleaned the carb as you instructed. Does my float need adjusting? Thanks again for the KE 100 Videos - Extremely helpful.
I have a 83 ke100 that I just got running. I cleaned the tank, put a new petcock on it, new fuel line and cleaned the carburetor. Now for some reason I keep getting air in the fuel line I have no idea why. I can manually fill the fuel line from the tank to the carb and it will run for 2 minutes then get boggy because it ran out. I have the petcock open. Gas in the tank and the carb is clean. Any ideas of what the problem could be? Thank you nothing changes when I remove the gas cap. Thankyou
hi kevin , great videos for ke100, mine is 2001, problem is petcock on bike leaked fuel into carb after i parked it, five years it sat, well, varished badly, had to soak it in gas for couple days just to get throttle barrel out, under main jet , how hard is emulsion tube to get out? kawasaki service manual say use pencil to push out, is it really that ez or am i doing something wrong. can you help, thanx
Hi Kevin, UK subscriber here- thanks for your wealth of information on these bikes, I'm repairing a 1996 american KE100, it only runs on choke at the moment with a clean carb, is that float adjustment? it revs up if i turn the choke off after starting it. One more question if I may, the oil line that goes from oil pump into the engine - is that full of oil all the time when its functioning correctly? Mine's see thu n mostly empty, I'm not sure if my pump is disabled or requires bleeding, thanks!
Thank you and welcome to the channel oil line must be complete full check your oil tank vent tube running then speeding up and dieing is a lean condition check out my carb talk videos
Bought a 1980 kd80, came with no carb, what replacement carb does a guy buy for it? Any ideas or links would be greatly appreciated, thank you. Awesome info!
Noticed that the bike will bog down hard if I’m going about 3 mph and try gunning it in first or second. Also sometimes I will rev the engine in neutral a few times and it will die about 10 seconds after doing that. Just replaced main jets and the float valve. Any thoughts?
What are your thoughts on eBay clone carbs? I just got one without thinking about it so I’m hoping you have some good to say about it. I love your videos by the way. Super helpful!
Kevin Bergeron awesome. Also, I was hoping you would know why they come with extra fittings on the clone carbs. Cause all the ones I see that are for ke100’s have two extra fittings near the fuel line. Not sure if they are some type of vacuum lines or what but Everything else about the carb is the same, except two extra fittings and only one drain on the bottom. I’m really hoping this is what it is. And once again, I do appreciate it Kevin.
Hey I got one and my bike acts like it starves for fuel but the carburetor is clean and the tank is as well could the float have anything to do with it
Yes could be floats just because a carb looks clean don't mean it is take jets pilot jet and main jet out hold up to the light make sure you can see light
@@2strokeguru I see. I am replacing a MC1. Could I get the one with vents and just leave them not hooked up to anything? Thanks for your information and help!

Hi there was watching ur other video I have a Suzuki tc100 bike it starts up and sounds like idle is on to low and turns off the only way it stays on is by slightly turning the throttle could u please tell me what idle screw that I have to touch to make the idle go abit higher please
I have a 1985 and I only see carburetors with the extra hose coming from the bottom, not like yours that have the two bottom pegs. Where can I find a carburetor like that/for my year?
Kevin Bergeron wish I’d known that before I bought the bike haha. The carburetor works but he said it may go out soon. I looked up the mikkuni, also hard to find, hopefully I can find one that fits
KAWASAKI KD 100 M KD100M 1978 is difficult I understand your video I cleaned the carb out did everything from what I know and still isn't wanting to run correctly anyways we can talk personally?
Hey Kevin I found a 1971 - 1975 ke100 manual it says air mixture screw backs out 1 3/4 turns.

Idle speed
That's supposed to

So after you rev it up the RPM DON'T go right back to idle

I put it all back together and now it is leaking gas out those bottom two holes in the carb
Louie Moon you need to adjust your float if it still leaks after adjusting you need to replace your needle and seat
I have the same no-start issue...good compression, good fuel, good ignition. All I get is a backfire when I put into choke.
