I've been slowly plugging along on the KZ. Unfortunately I haven't had much time available to me in the garage, so I am doing what little I can here and there. On my lunch break, I snatched up some rectifiers to build a new one. The old setup was haggard and unfit for road use by any measure, so it was time to finally build one from scratch. There are quite a few different setups I have seen built before, and all are supposed to work just as good if not better than the stock setup. Total cost from Radio Shack came in under $15 versus the usual $50-$100 used units on Ebay. I have a chunk of 3/8" aluminum stock to be used as a heat sink, so that is covered already. I received my new petcock in Friday leaving only a few things left on the list to check before the first start.
1. check valve timing
2. points gap
3. check advance unit/weights and clean/lube
4. make gaskets for new intake
5. simple wire job to run
