Compatible Models

- Kawasaki KE100 (1976-2001, verify carburetor version and engine setup)
Product Overview
A KE100 that has been parked for years may start only with choke, flood, bog when the throttle opens, or leak from the bowl. Once fuel flow, crank seals, compression, reed or rotary-valve condition, ignition, exhaust restriction, and oiling are checked, the carburetor may be the part holding the bike back.
Kawasaki changed carburetor numbers and details during the KE100’s long production run. This replacement should be chosen by physical comparison, not year range alone. Match the spigot and air-boot diameters, throttle-slide cable, choke, fuel inlet, oil line, jetting, and original assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will one carburetor fit every KE100 from 1976-2001? A: Not automatically. The long production run used detail changes, so compare the removed carburetor carefully.
Q: Can incorrect jetting damage a two-stroke engine? A: Yes. A lean mixture or oiling problem can overheat and damage the engine.
Q: Why should the exhaust be checked? A: A carbon-restricted two-stroke exhaust can mimic a rich or weak carburetor.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
