I think my problem with the z1300 is a faulty igniter.
I have searched e-bay etc, but I cant locate a replacement anywhere.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Its a 1979 z1300.
The igniter has the words IC IGNITER Kawasaki. cast into the front of it.

I seem to get two part numbers that cover the Z13000 A1 A2 A3
21119-1023
21119-1005
I don't know about 13's so maybe it will be of some help

i have never had to replace any ic igniter on the z1300 models & i was a Kawasaki technician for 34 years if you are talking about your starter not turning the ic igniter wouldn't be the cause

Tonto said he has just had to replace the Startor motor on his 1979 Z1300
He used DK spares

Thanks for the advice guys.
I discovered the black and yellow wire from the igniter has melted thru the insulation, it looks like it's been like that for some time. I have seperated the melted wire and soldered a new one in. So I will see if that works.
The price of a replacemant is a bit eyewatering, but I might have to bite the bullet. (the wife will chew my whatsits off)
Still trying to trace the original fault, but it's going to be the weekend before I get a chance.
Isn't rebuilding old bikes fun?

the black & yellow is the earth have you connected the battery the wrong way round at some point? or shorted the live to earth when tightening it with a spanner ?
