Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Jetting!!! Again and again and again!
Danger4u2:
Lets get the bike out of the container and pull the carburetor, clean it up and test with it.
That would tell us quick if it's a carb problem.
That's as good a reason for me to start messing with that bike as any. It was a running
bike when I bought it years ago. It's most likely all stock.
If I remember right it's a 2002.
Let me know what day is good for you.

That would be awesome! My son has a swim meet this weekend, but I might have some time on Sunday. Are you busy this weekend?

Early would work for me 7:30/8?
No heat in the garage but the shop has heat and fork lift.
DoldGuy:
No more than 6 psi on the leak down test, KX500 seals are captive but too much pressure can still cause problems.
Sounds like this is a good motivator for Danger to get his K5's going again & very nice he is helping out with the carb. Also would be nice for you to be able to ride a stock K5 to have the feel of, letting you know what to expect from yours. If his carb fixes your issues, remove the jet block on your PWK to inspect.
Hope all works out well,
DoldGuy

That works perfectly for me. Thank you again for letting me borrow a carb, it should help answer the question one way or the other.
