What year is it?

You can buy an owner / service manual from eBay for not too much. Kawasaki made one. Clymer made one also for 1980 and 1981 models, but I think the vast majority of things are similar for 1982.

CDI may need to go to the dealer. They rarely fail. Look up the spark plug wire corroding at the plug junction.

Glad you got it figured out.

What fun would it be if a previous owner did not leave bolts off and maybe even replace metric fasteners with SAE? :-)
