on the spark plug i just pulled it out when it was in garage no shutting it down when running. and for coolant its a 50/50 mix green coolant.
do you have alot of smoke coming out of the pipe? alot of leaking coming out of the cylinder to pipe?
warm the bike up and do a plug chop at WOT, check the plug see what its reading..
Got a compression reading on that z?

Just for shits and giggles throw one of your other z's fuel pumps on this one and see what it does...
170 on compression test
i will change the pump tomorrow nothing to lose.
170 is a bit to the higher side, whatcha runnin for fuel..? suppose it could be the carb starving for fuel, i have never messed with a stock Z carb..everyone i have had in my hands had the stocker thrown out long ago. Still bit odd to overheat that quick if everything is in check, Your mag side basegasket dry or coverd in oil??
