wont rev clean,smoking
Hillclimb#42:
It does sound like its flooding. Some kind of float problem maybe. Reeds ok?
KX5Zuki:
Some thing that I ran into, and chased around for a while before, you could have a leak in the cases from the tranny. Check your tranny fluid, is it low? Or have gas in it? I had that issue once before on a KX125 I had. hard to track down, and you could do more harm than good by "fixing" what isnt wrong.

i don,t see any harm done by tearing the carb down ,
also a reeds check like hillclimb mentioned in the same time
atleast sub for cubes knows the carb is proper and still in good order,or not :wink:
no sub for cubes:
Well pulled the carb off and checked that,needle rubber looks fine,float height was fine and no blocked jets,also i pulled the reeds out they looked ok,i pulled the plug out and it was oily and black looking i peared down the plug hole and it looks like the top of piston is same condition an oily black colour.
It started easy no choke needed ,and for about 15secs sounded ok but after that started to smoke more and wouldnt rev clean,does this sound like seals gone again ? :x im thinking so.
Speedway73:
Sounds like it's sucking oil from the tranny either from the seal or center case gasket.
