Tyler, your Zed13 looks and sounds fantastic :woohoo:
I just re-visited your entire rebuild thread: a lot of skill and care gone into that bike - inspirational work.
Cheers Tim

Looks n sounds great mate !
Try closing your plug gaps a little which can help starting (hotter spark).
Alternatively do the AW82 coil mod if not already.
Check float heights ?
Are all 3 choke lifters lifting equally ?
Always use a HIGH octane petrol...........makes a BIG difference on the 1300.
Hope that helps.

The ignition has been properly sorted on this one...
I opened the idle screws up another 1/4 turn, and that has helped. I think the choke, throttle advance needs.to be re adjusted, that may help. It now starts right at tick over but it runs rough for a few minutes.
Once its warmed up it runls like a swiss watch.
I have premium gas, and that means ethanol free where I live.

Sorry to hear about your cams Kawboy, if you send them to Delta they will come back correct.
Here a few pics of the bike I took today. All done.
