A Kawasaki dealer would be a start
Very recently acquired a ZX400 which had been sprayed and decalled as a ZXR400.
The previous owner had it with a mechanic with carb issues, had carbs cleaned & balanced & fuel tank cleaned however it would only run on choke and die when give any throttle.
Turns out it wasn't cleaned at all. I stripped carbs and found a gummy mess. Cleaned by hand as good as possible but still no joy.
Took all apart again and put through ultrasonics I have at work and it did work a treat, started perfect and takes throttle very well, just have a fuel leak I think from a bowl seal or maybe float valves are bad. Have to take a better look.
