I've been having a few problems with a 1981 kawasaki z250b twin. I can't seem to get it started and I believe he problem to be electrial. The spark was weak and intermittent, but is now non-existant.
I've ordered new points and plug caps and these still need to arrive. I cleaned the carbs and it has new plugs.
This is the first bike I've had with coils and I know nothing really! It is 180 degrees firing.
I'm looking for a set of coils for the bike and also a new condenser - the pictures of my condenser (below) show it to be pretty rusty. I know this may be just the outer appearance, but I would like to replace it.
Does anybody know where I can get a new set of coils and a condenser in the UK? Ebay listings for coils are wrong as they only show one wire and the HT lead coming from the coil, whereas I need to have 2.
There is this listing for a z250 single, which has two wires, but the shop doesn't know the primary resistance. I've been told it needs to be 4-5 Ohms.

If anyone knows alternatives to the parts I require or knows where I can buy them from it would be great. I was recommended T.E. Spares in Lincolnshire, but the man is away on holiday and I don't know if they will be able to sort me out. I need to get the bike sorted by next week to get it mot'd by Thursday so I can ride home from Cardiff to Kent on Friday. A bit of an ask to get that far, but I have no choice!
thanks and I really hope someone can help me out!
