Sorry not a Z13 (but it is a Kwak): after 12 months under a cover, last week I finally dragged out my H1 and started the fairly significant retso that she will need to have - she is a runner but she needs a total rebuild. I'll post some pics thru the year when there is significant movement.



Re Z13, awoke my Z13 from her hibernation - fresh "super" fuel and fully charged battery came to nothing as she flatly refused to fire up - SNAFU. Not surprised she has always been a viscious b1tch and over past 3-4 years will torment me in anyway she can. .



Mission next week is have the big old girl firing on all cylinders

Cheers Tim

Well the H1 should be easy to work on. What is the parts situation for that model? I imagine they manufactured a lot more of those than the 1300, so at least second hand parts should be available.

Your 1300 looks good. Hopefully nothing much preventing it from firing up. Always something to be learned from these setbacks!

Your 13 is beautiful. Good luck on the new ride.

That H1 makes my brain go Ringy-ding-ding-ding-ding,,,,Ringy ding ding ding ding. Love it. I've had more triples than 4 strokes. 72 H1, 72 H2, 72 S2, 74 S3, 74 H2, 75 KH500. Castor oil or Klotz. Oh Boy. Thanks for the memory prod.

Almost everytime I have a engine that won't start after a long lay up, I find that a spray bottle with gasoline and a couple of squirts down the carbs and that usually all it takes. Good luck.
