Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Rebuilding 5 hunny ???s
kawdude:
I removed the spacer that I placed on the output shaft and then reassembled. No bind now. The shifter hub is an excellent suggestion though. I assumed that this was the problem since only the output shaft was tight and not the clutch shaft.

Tranny issues! Yuck! I've rebuilt the tranny in a old '86 YZ250 I had awhile back and in a CR250 I currently have and I am sooo sick of them. Binding and just small things. When I had to have the KX rebuilt, I just sent the entire engine to E-Gorr. BTW, have you gotten your parts back from him? Just curious.
kawdude:
No haven't gotten them back. Got a post in dr stating it's taking longer because I needed some welding. Cracks in intake and exhaust ports. Great... The bottem end is together and doesn't appear to have any issues. We'll see. After you had your work done how did it effect the jetting. Did you start with the stock jetting for break in?
gowen:
Hey Kawdude, I kept the stock needle and moved to the recommend jet in the jet chart that used to be at the first page of this website for sea level and the stock pilot. Perfect brown plugs so far. I mixed 32:1 for the break in and now am running 40:1 I am too scared to try 50:1 yet.
and yes, it made a huge diffrence in power! But, as from before-after. Yes, it caused the mid to be quite off jetting. But that is why I changed from the needle that I was running to the recommended one. I don't even remember what I was running. But it helped. Thanks to whoever put the chart there. :-)
gowen:
Oh yeah, when I sent my entire engine to Egorr he had to weld the tranny together cause of a crack in it too. I guess it is pretty standard. :-(
