Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
KIPS frozen
gwcrim:
Pulled the jug last night. Needs a complete redo. Any suggestions? I'd like to send it out and get it back ready to bolt on w/a new piston. Who does good work for the dollar? The only place I've heard consistant raves about is Eric Gore.
Paul:
B & B Racing is supposed to be a good one also. Contact John, he's killerkx327 on this site so send him a PM and see what he can do for you.

I worked on the KIPS over the weekend and got it to free up very nicely. Since I'm in the middle of building a house, I think I'll just stick a new set of rings in and limp along for another year on the current top end.
What is the best way to clean and lube the KIPS?
John:
Use the dishwasher!
Nah, just kidding. Scrape the carbon and crust off, use white spirit for the goo and carburetor cleaner for the finish. Smear all the gear with two stroke oil and use high temperature grease for the rubber seals.

Not to change the subject but I have a question. It seems that my KX falls flat when pushed beyond midrange. Would the likely cause of this be a malfunction valve or carburation? Or both. What's the better guess?
