bought a non-running 425 magnum from a friend. has not been running for 2 years. last it ran the exhaust pipe got cherry red... hot enuf to partially melt the heat shield. engine was turned off and allowed to cool. wouldn't re-start. new spark plug didn't help. haven't tried much to fix it yet... looking for a good starting point.

ebay has carb kits for around 35.00 give or take. I have to swap out cams on the 425 and 500 often but that wouldnt make it hot but somthing else to check. If you pull the valve cover and spark plug kick the motor over and the rockers should be raising the same height the front rocker is the exhaust and thats the one that goes and obvious when its worn out.

Good luck Todd Polarisatvrepair.com

      94 Kawasaki Mojave 250 - No spark, Very confused
      By justent_88
      Hello, im looking for some input on this situation i have. My 94 Mojave has no spark, and i have no idea what it is. Ive replaced/tested the magneto, the pickup coil, cdi, the ignition coil. Even the key and Killswitch. I haven't tested the harness its self, but i have tried another harness and still nothing. The only thing i can think of is the fly wheel itself. I have found a lot of metal shavings in the fly wheel and have cleaned it the best I could. But nothing happened afterwards. I am truly stumped here and hoping some of yous could shed some knowledge/ideas that could help get this thing to fire.
