- With Jamie around to help lift the engine back into the frame of the 1990 Kawasaki ZZR1100, we got loads done over a couple of days. All the ancillary bits n do dads got fitted and we even got it running and put a tune on it. It's been a good couple of days and a massive thank you to Jamie for his help.

This bike you know from inside out mate, its truly yours now!! Feel proud!
I'm very chuffed with it and know it quite well now as you say. If anything goes wrong I'm pretty sure I could fix it 😁
Yep...,the Carbtune is the business...!!!
So glad you got one...
That's all thanks to Gary matey. He had one that's not been touched in years and was kind enough to send it my way 😁
Yep...,been using one since I first seen it on the dashboard of Robert Dunlop's transit van at Bishopscourt race track here in N Ireland many years ago...
I thought.....,if its good enough for him..,it'll do me..!!!
Never used anything else since..!
Thoroughly enjoying this mission you’re putting yourself through. Well worth the effort as it’s also a learning experience, wish all people attacked jobs with your laid back, no drama approach 👍
It's been a lot of fun actually and like you say and learned quite a bit. I enjoy all this stuff so none of it is like work or a chore to do 😁
Cracking on with that quickly. Good job you got the big man to help you. ❤️😂👍🔧🏍
He's a gem that fella, we got LOADS done. It literally cuts the time down in half 😁👍
Sure is lovely seeing that big lump of metal where it’s supposed to be 😀
It's awesome that I haven't got yo lift it again as well 🤣😂😅
It's great that you got the engine back running!
It's sounds mint 😁👍
Who's a happy chappie then? Nice to see it running. Well done.
I'm hopefully doing that today matey 😁
Lots of progress, well done. Im looking forward to the next episode
Thank you matey and you won't have to wait very long 🤣
Awesome 👍🏻great to see the progress you are making. Don’t take this the wrong way but the timelapse footage of you & Jamie made me think of Morph & Chas 😂
Hehehe... at least it wasn't Benny Hill 🤣😂😅
Thanks for watching and for chipping in matey 👍
Excellent progress 💪👍
Thank you matey 👍
Nicely done boys.
Good init 😁👍
Excellent news!
Thank you matey 👍
Another milestone done. Those Carbtune kits are awesome, I use those in conjunction with the Colortune kit and can get carb engines running spot on with them.
Sooooo much easier than the gauges, that's for sure 😁👍
Interesting that you needed to jump the fuel level wires. Both my 91s start just fine with the tank off and wires disconnected. Neither of my sensors in the tank are working though and need replaced. I was looking forward to hearing it run. Next episode!
There's a few weird things about this bike matey 😂🤣.
Today is rhe day I'm hoping to go hooning, so you won't have to wait long 😁
Neato! Nice to see the furniture going back on, it'll be back on the road in no time. A proper set of column gauges makes a world of difference, doesn't it? Mate of mine used to tune "by ear" up against the carbs, at least until he managed to get the client to bugger off. Then his mercury gauges came out, he'd tune it up in a couple of minutes, and he'd have a cup of tea on client time :)
Glad to hear it's running on all 4 for the moment, but it's always a worry when you don't know what the problem actually is / was.
And now I'm gonna be "your dad". Being lurgy-positive, you probably should have been masked,and you know it. You're a naughty boy, even if Jamie isn't worried about it - if he cops a nasty dose as a result and can't work for 3 weeks you'll feel rotten.
Very true about the lurgy matey, but its a personal choice I guess. To be fair, I've not felt very bad at all if I could go into work I would have...
The bike does sound good though and it's nice to have it running again. Yheres still a bit of popping on overrun, so I don't think the jetting is bang on yet, but its way better than it was 😁
Happy Tunes, great progress Quickie, very enjoyable, happy riding
Thank you matey. Come the weekend, I'm hoping at this rate matey 👍
@@QuickBikes great results, first time doing a complicated engine, my daily is a sym 50cc work to home, and big bike in garage only comes out when it's dry, but touring Scotland in 2 weeks, so can't wait for that
Ooo... Scotland... That's gonna be a nice tour I'm willing to bet 😁
@@QuickBikes it's our first time we have a big scoot, piaggio mp3 500 sport me wife panniers and top box, I can only ride this now as I was involved in a motorbike accident in 1988 and my right leg can't bend enough, so I made some footplates with Harley Davidson foot pegs, works for me. But it's the only way I can still enjoy riding, love it to be honest, look up the bike, not everyone's taste, but, there you go
As long as you're happy, who cares matey 😁👍 and I like the idea that you tweaked it a bit so you could carry on riding. Nicely done matey 👍
Nicely done there quickie obviously thanks go to Jamie as well or this might have turned into a how to ..pop a hernia or a how to for dropping a big heavy kwak lump . Chuffed as the gift works as it bloody should and being sat for 10 years plus didn't affect it in any way . I'm now getting anxious to see it move under it's own gearing ..maybe before Monday due to the timing on the editing lol . Great Friday evening vid mate all me best .
That carb tune is soooo much easier to use. Makes a finicky job really quite easy. It was lovely to hear the beastie run under its own steam again. Literally all that's left is service the forks and stick the bodywork back on again 😁
@@QuickBikes lol sweet i was just watching and then see it propped up and thought yeh . Soo glad its been a help buddy really pleased .
That's gonna get used on a regular basis matey. Well impressed 😁
Progress! 💪
😁👍 Forks and fairings today and then I can test it. Very nearly finished now matey 👍
Fabuloso. All excellent stuff! 👍😁❤
Thank you matey 👍
keep the bugger upright this time when you pop them legs out !!!! that carb tune got to be a extra 1bhp can you add 1 to my guess.....if i dont win the t shirt i will have to buy one lol
Hehehe... it surprising really, as we spent quite a long time setting up the carbs on the gauges, but they were still out. Doing it rhis way was a doddle 😁
A problem I have experienced with older or higher mileage carb fed bikes is wear with needles and emulsion tubes that I couldn’t optimise by adjusting the needle clips.
It corresponded with the machine running rich at low rpm experienced as poor engine response and mpg.
I've found the service kits to be really good matey with new tubes, jets, needles etc. I think you have look at the description though as I've had a few turn up in the past that didn't include everything I was expecting. Carbs are always a bit fluffy I guess, bug you can normally get them pretty good 👍
for forks sake its nearly done ....... soon be hoon time!! :) cheers.
Forks happened today matey 🤣😂
Jamie lost some serious weight!
He has matey, he's half the man he was when I met him. Going gym and everything 💪 😁
A lot of progress there mate. What was that funny noise at 16:49, bit windy?;-) lol
Hehehe... just a bit 🤣😂😅
Must have been the chicken.;-)🌬
😅🤣😂
@@QuickBikes 😂😂😂
Nice work fellas 👍, did u see if it worked in all the gears?
It selects all the gears, but I'm not really going to know it's properly fixed until night shift gears under load. Hopefully it's all good though and I'm pretty confident 😁👍
I don't usually get a 'thanks for turning up', thank Christ😉he's gone is normal.
It was nice to meet you matey. It's always good to put a face to the name 😁
