Answer
Hi Michael,

I suggest that you get a copy of the Service Manual. I recommend the Kawasaki manual to other brands. You get what you pay for.

The manual has illustrated procedures and will pay for itself with the first work you perform.

If all parts are fine as described, look for a loose or defective electrical wire of connector.
