she wont rev out...
snoopjonnyjon:
Sounds similar to how mine ran when I was running too much oil in the premix. I started running at 40:1 and all my problems went away. It took a while though. Had to just hold it WOT for about a mile before it cleared out. Its worth a shot, since it's about the easiest thing to try.

Grunty-Motor:
too much oil? that sounds plausible - it is kicking out goo at the exhaust/silencer connection - and its only been running about 15mins!!!
think i am a little richer than 40:1 as that is what my RM250 is on. i'll try 50:1 and go canny on the throttle and see if it cleans out then drop it back to 40:1.
Grunty-Motor:
last request (for the moment....)
where do i measure the float height - manual says 15-17mm but the picture aint that clear.

By the way did you happen to change to ATF type F or similiar from normal 10w30 or 10w40? :mrgreen:

hello grunty motor!
well it seems we are in the same boat :?
i just got a 1994 kx500 a few days ago and it will not rev out, lots of low end. as for the mixture, i'm running 40 to 1 like the last owner, same proplem... my bike sat for 4 years in a barn when i bough it. it started after 4 kiks, and idle fine. the two problems i have is the last 70% of the rev and after opening it wide open it will do this funny thing where it is like the trotlle comes on and off by little sharp sequence and eventually stop and idle fine.
so far i have check and clean carb, float... everything is fine... timing look ok even to the clymer manuel is not so clear about it. spark plug is new and gap ajusted...
so what are the reeds your talking about? and how do you check the intake valve and exhaust?
maybe between the two of us will get them to go like they should, stupid fast... :-D
it is my first 2 stoker, so all new to this.
