Default Question

Hello guys. This is my first time one the forum and I have a question. I just bought this engine and have no idea what it is. The only numbers I really saw on the thing was kz650be093834. Its for a project of mine but I need to identify it to work on it. Any ideas?

First off welcome to the forums.... The only thing I can think of is a dealer or some kind of vin decoder on line... Good luck with it and enjoy your stay.

Im building a pulling lawn tractor. I have found it to be a KZ650. I figured the air cooled aspect would make it a good doner motor. I find it funny that its got a 4 barrel carb.

Carb looks like a standard block of 4 carbs, 1 for each cylinder.
