Hi George,
Well, I went to a Kawasaki shop and they couldn't help...so I went to trusty old Sears...In the lawnmower dept. they said to go to the repair shop...they were less than helpful there. "What part number?"...."I don't know, can I just look at your pulleys?"...."No. No part number, then I can't help you"..."OK, let's look at the schematic of one of the Sears tractors, and maybe we'll find a part number."...."No, go back to the store (they're a block apart) and get a part number for the tractor you like."...."Can't you just call them and ask?"...."No, they don't bother answering the phone."...."Huh???"...."Sir, I'm not going to stand here and guess at part numbers"...(She had no other customers waiting, BTW"....so some guy comes in with the same issue....she sends him walking, too. AMAZING!!!! This is why Sears is going out of business...and nobody seems to care!
So I came back home and put on the stock one, and I'll hit some moped/scooter shops during the week next week...hopefully someone's got this dang thing.

Anyway...I ventured to the Super Target...about 4-5 miles, I'd guess...bought some accessories: Front bag for handlebars, speedometer (top speed before it sounds like it's really winding out: 29-30 (then I backed off), and a big-a$$ comfy seat (Schwinn) really cushy and nice. Hopefully, I'm about done.
Oh, I bought a toggle switch at Radio Shack, removed the yellow plastic button and the toggle fit right in there...so it attaches to the blue wires, and now I have a kill button.
Everything was tightened up using blue Loctite, and seems to be good...no visible loose nuts, and I really don't want to tighten anything and break a good seal. I also used it on the petcock/tank and no leaks. Some documentation says use teflon tape, but I think gas would turn it into goop...and once again, the loctite worked great (so far).
Everyone that saw me asked me about the bike! They all smile when I tell them that this is my little war against the oil companies. I have been spending about $85/2 weeks filling up my Acura MDX and it only gets about 17mpg around town...
It's all good, now!
Have a great weekend! Tomorrow I'm going to take a nice ride down A1A I think...check out the beach and the pretty girls...of course!
