Well, at least you educated me on all the steps involved to do this myself. I'm sure I will be coming back to this video at some time in the future. Keep the videos coming.
Hi I’ve been doing a motor swap from a Kawasaki 1998 1100 to a 1997 your videos are awesome and have help so thank you I’ve noticed all the differences you’ve talked about with different carburetors I know you’ve mentioned there’s a throttle cable difference from the 97 to the 98 is it a big enough difference that you have to swap the cables as well
The cable needed to be longer so I think the 97 cable would need to be put on the 1998. The carb would rev high because the cable was too short. Maybe there is a way to adjust it or change the cable bracket?
My fuel gauge doesn’t work but my sending unit is all cracked ( hinge can smell gas did the soapy water to verify )the rubber part is that the wires go into do you have a option to just plug or cap the hole in the tank just gonna delete the float sending unit
I am sure you could go to home depot or lowes buy a rubber pipe plug, and cap it. Now having said that your warning light may constantly stay on. I was told by chris carter that a unit off a seadoo will fit over that hole. I never tried it , but he said the seadoo pickups can be used to replace the bad kawasaki ones. It is a tight fit supposedly. The seadoo sending unit and pickups are all in one part.

Thanks for watching. I still have 2 engines to leak test and install and the attempt at figuring out this wiring issue.
Great video Kevin! Lots of useful info here
Thanks for watching.
Your vids have saved me a lot of time and headache on my 96 1100 zxi, so appreciate it
That is why I made them. To help DIY people like you. Thanks.

Sweet thank you are you able to take it out of a zxi without taking the motor out
Wow lots of work for nothing. Sorry that happened. 😔
Yes a whole lot of getting nowhere in this video. Too cold to work on it for now.
