1979 Kawasaki Invader Help

Looks like progress!!  You will have a little trouble getting the motor back in with the clutch on it.

Just a little grease, and it should fit through. Push hard!

Lol well update for this afternoon/evening the new fuel pump so I started putting together new fuel lines, I had some 1/4" id stainless tubing and some 1/4" blue fuel line, I'm waiting on my filters but here's what I've got so far.

[JLane7071]

Anyone got any tips or tricks to pulling the flywheel on one of these? I've broken 2 pullers so far.

[gixxer6]

I made my own puller.  I used a piece of 1/2" plate steel, drilled 3 holes for the flywheel bolts, and one large hole in the center for a big fine thead bolt.  I put a fine thread nut between the plate and the flywheel (was going to weld it there, but never got around to it...).  Make sure you use the highest grade bolts you can get! 

Tighten it down as tight as you can without breaking the bolts, give it a smack with a big hammer, then repeat.  Sometimes if they don't come off right away, I'll leave pressure on it and let it sit overnight.  This method hasn't failed me yet!

I think that the only things I would add to gix's advice is that with the tension on the  bolt, the hammer blow should be dead center and aligned directly in line with the center of the crank shaft.  And, a shot of PB Blaster never hurts.

[gixxer6]

Also, grease the threads of the large center bolt, and where it contacts the end of the crank.

Wow all I can say is thank god I went through this forum, I finally just got the flywheel off and I'm glad I didn't try running this sled beforehand, the mag side crank seal was in 2 pieces with the spring nowhere to be found :/

[JLane7071]

Question, I was under the assumption that the sled should have a points and condenser system? This is what was behind my flywheel.

[gixxer6]

That's the stator.  It's part of the CDI system.

Seems like only a couple early Drifters had points?

It's electronic ignition, no points. The coils on the left are for the ignition system, the coil on the right generates power for the electrics.

[JLane7071]

Alright so that being said and since I don't really know much about this type of build, before the teardown I had fairly weak spark any ideas on what to check?

[JLane7071]

OK I got the engine in and I got it to run for a couple of seconds but now nothing, every so often it will sputter but thats after 15 pulls or so. Any ideas? There's fuel in the carbs and it has bright blue spark and good compression. I'm stumped

[JLane7071]

Also I cleaned the carbs and set them back to factory settings, 6.5 turns out on the idle screw and 1.5 turns out on mix screw, this is what I found online, does this sound right?
