The bike season is more or less over here anyway. Since I'm useless at this and no one can help me with the bikes, I'll probably sell/dump both of them before summer.

The oil cable route is down between the left hand and middle carb and along through the side case into the pump.
There numerous people is Sweden and Norway, find the web sites and I think they will be willing to help you ready for next season.
The season here in the UK goes on for a while yet, I'm just taking out a '27 JD Harley this morning to wake up the locals and get a bit of breakfast.

Looked at them but don't think they're terribly helpful (doesn't even show the carburetors...).

Schematics would be though. Wish Kawasaki had marked the cables with L, M, R or something to take out some guesswork.

Thanks, looks pretty good. Not sure I could replicate it. How do one tell which choke plunger belongs to what carburetor by the way?

Must be different lengths just as the throttle wires?

Yes, choke cable splitter box/tube runs down the left side of the spine, so longer cable to the right shorter to the left. :)

Remember, the enricheners just open a huge fuel hole for cold starting. And they are not adjusted like most cables, they have a lot of slack. So don't adjust them tight.

Seems 2 of the choke plunger wires are of equal length and the third is a bit shorter...
