Yea, I'm a Maina.......lately I have gotten my hands on a Kawi (Kawasaki). An old one for that matter, BUT, it runs, sort of........
I have had to do ALOT of work to this ATC, and there is still plenty to do, but for now I have a question about the periodic engine death that occurs at the most inopportune times.
I have been a wrench just about all my life, working on anything that needed fixing. through out my life I have gained a lot of know-how, and 'work-arounds' that have seemed to make things/vehicles last just a little longer (if not many years) in their service life. I have never been one to abuse, break-on-purpose, blow-up, do endless senseless shenanigans on any vehicle I have ever owned. I do like to bring old vehicles back to life, and finding the 'work-around' if an OEM part is no longer available, I also relish finding an inexpensive be it more common part that will do the same job that the OEM was intended to do. I take great satisfaction in sticking it to "The Man" whenever I can cut a repair bill down to a more reasonable expense, when a customer asks me for help.
Please feel free to chat with me, I am a friendly sort, and am willing to learn anything.

Welcome good to see another Mainah on the boards! Do you have any pics of this weapon! Lol sporadic engine death sounds electrical, can you elaborate on it at all, is the motor dying under heaven loads or is it just kind of slowly idling down? I'm not much of a Kawi guru but it always helps to be specific and use examples. Good luck

Not sure what you mean? To this thread? Your post count says you only have 2 so far. If you've been trying to PM me then no I haven't gotten any.
