Kz 1300 identification.

Hi,
im new to this site.
My bike’s frame number is KZT 30A-000329
the engine number is 30AE 000364.
I believe it is a 1979 and I’d like to verify that. Given the difference in the numbers, would this be considered a numbers matching bike?
It starts great from cold but does not restart hot unless I spray starter fluid into the carbs. Is this likely a coil problem? (When it cools down it again starts and revs as it should) If so, what are the best coil replacement and possibly relocation options?
thank you.

Hi Sean,
Welcome to KZ1300.com !
There's a brief discussion of alternate coils for 13s here: www.kz1300.com/forum/electrical-ignition...2-coil-fitment#34217 .
The stock coils have been known to break down with age and heat. I've replaced mine with three ohm Dyna coils even though they're too big to fit in the stock location.
Regards
Bill/KZQ
