I've been trying to chase down the cause of the rich running condition of the KDX200 without any positive improvement. Until this.

This is honestly one of the best channels I have come across recently. Down to earth, honest bike enthusiasts! I am busy rebuilding a bike at the moment (1989 TDR180 in MX Trim), and have learnt A LOT about non-starters and where to start, what to look for, as well as how to do basic diagnostics for common issues. Things you'd never think of checking! Thanks guys!

I'm guessing the packing in the exhaust is saturated in the old oil, id suggest repacking the exhaust.

To do all that and still have it run like an asthmatic 50 would be a waste of time imo especially as they want to use it now; the bearings in that engine were better anyway. We also couldn't feel quite how cold it was lol...

I guess it depends on what the goal is. To use or resale. If to use then yeah I would have replaced. Now that he knows what the real issue was go ahead and replace the seals and bearings to freshen up the motor and make it more reliable.

John Chafin, yep that's the way i think, but if it was my bike and there is a chance to replace the basic stuff while the engine is bare, i would do it. Because later on it will cause problems just when you need the machine the most. That's sods law lol.

When I rode 2 stroke mopeds back in the day we would take the exhaust off, go to a sandpit or similar, poor gasoline in the exhaust and ignited it. It would usually burn the exhaust clean of oil residue. Another method was putting an old clutch cable in a drill and rotate that cable like a mad man inside the exhaust to get rid off some of the coal cake on the inside.

I had a 1987 KX-125. I was in the same boat. It was running like crap. As soon as I changed the plug wire, BAM, 1 kick start and it never ran so good. Go to auto zone get a uni-plug wire, you just need one end with the boot, and on the ignition box there is a wood screw the wire screws into LOL. Put some RTV around the wire hole are on the box. It's a simple 3 buck fix to try.

One problem with old carbs is the float eventually absorbs gas and doesn't float as good (they get heavy) that causes the fuel level in the bowl to stay too high causing the engine to run rich. Just something to look for.

I've never heard of a carb wearing out aside from scoring from dirt and things like that, but I guess with enough hours anything is possible. I bet new jets, float needle, and maybe float (if you think it's bad) would freshen it up though. And with how little that main seal was leaking, once everything is up to temp and expanded/softened it probably seals just fine. Been loving this series!

Jake, I have an idea what caused the problem. Check the tube inside of which the main metering needle slides in. I don't know the correct name for that tube, but I think I said it reasonably clear. On the other side of that tube the main fuel jet is located. When that tube wears out, it becomes ellipse-shaped, just like the cylinder. The worn tube allows fuel to get in past the needle, thus defeating its purpose.
