Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

suddenly too rich

<< < (8/17) > >>

tschisi:
Only got the VForce3 reeds, but have already been riding with them once or twice.

Spark and timing ok.
Float valve closes.
Fuel not too old.
Jetting done with correction chart.

I guess i?ll study yout link, thx for that!

tschisi:
Hi again!

I tried the stock reeds, but the same problem.
Is ist ok for the intake port and reed cage to be wringing wet after kicking?
Or could this be a carb problem?
I?ll check my float height again.
Should it be changed by bending the bracket of the float?

tschisi:
Checked the float.
The conical upper tip of the valve is new and closes nice.
The float touches the lower tip of the valve at about 17-18mm, which should be not too bad if i got that right?!
I have no more ideas what to do with the bike.  :?

Hey T,
 
 Read through this, It sounds very similar to your situation...

  (Flywheel key ?  C.D.I.)
   
I'm not sure, however you may be able to swap 250/500 c.d.i. for test.
  The only thing left is flywheel/mag...

Also some float level "How To" post #3  :-D

tschisi:
Flywheel should be ok, i just replaced the nut.
I also have a strong looking spark, so i guess the magnets and statot should be ok (suggestion, i know) ?!

CDI would be bad, i have no second one to test, and i think the 250?s wouldn?t work because that one uses the throttle sensor and stuff like that.
The 250?s wiring is about thrice the wiring of the k5...
Maybe the coil fits...

If it doesn?t, i will take the bike to the dealer for troubleshooting.
Some kind of giving up, but i?m out of ideas and want to ride it again!   8-)  :evil:  :mrgreen:
