Does anyone know if you can buy the advance & retard springs separate to the unit? I've got a bike here with lazy springs impacting the idle.
Cheers,
Mike

Hello DogsbolloxofZ1B, the springs arew not available from Kawasaki, you hve to order the auto advance unit as a complete assembly, which as its often just a broken or saggy spring is a shame, Regards, Steve

surely it must be possible to match something up?

One of the members did put instructions of how to make up new springs, in relation to wire gauge, etc so that a new spring would have similar performance characteristics (ie: same springiness
).
It was a good year or so ago, but I can't find it now

Take one of your springs down to a spring maker. They should be able to match the wire guage, type, and length.
Use a strobe to check the advance characteristics when they are fitted.
