Can't get started kx500

(1/1)

fredunderwood:
Ok. So I'm trying to get the ol kx started....got it running.....it was idling, and when I give  it some throttle it stopped.   Tried kicking it over again and got some kickback from the kickstarter, but that's it.  I put a brand new carb on from a kx250.  Running a 175mj. A 42pj. 

I can usually get it started to idle, but then give it throttle and stalls out....ideas, suggestions?

alward25:
try a 60 pilot jet

Foxx4Beaver:
+1 on the 60 Pilot...
but also make sure your float height is right on, or you could be pissin directly into the wind.

motopunk:
here is a good help for jetting ...
