Shaft? Are you trying to bolt the rotor directly to the end of the crank?

The bolt supplied with the ignition goes thru the rotor. The rotor sits inside the mechanical advancer arms - the advancer and rotor get bolted to the end of the crank.

I've got a '79 B3 and I just picked up a used factory electronic ignition for it on Ebay but I haven't started to install it yet. I shouldn't have any problems (I hope) as it's a Kawasaki part.

I thought 80 was the first year for any kaw to have electronic ignition.

Late '79 was when they started putting electronic ignitions in.

Yeah, Once I realized that I was trying to put my new rotor over the oem rotor everything went pretty smooth. I had the entire project done the next day. If you have any questions while you are installing yours just let me know, I'll help you as much as I can.
