Title: 2000 kx 250 smoking and bogs down
Post by: Oklahoma580 on November 16, 2017, 10:44:52 AM

I am having and issue with my 2000 kx 250.
I am having a hard time getting it started and once I do it smokes really bad and I have a huge pile of oil right behind the front tire and it then bogs down and dies. I can not get it to start again until I let sit for a while. When I bought it he said the engine has been rebuilt.

Check the reed block. Sounds like a broken reed. may aswell clean the carby out at the same time. start with the simple things first.

Air, Fuel, Spark and compression :mrgreen:

Hey Oklahoma580, welcome to the site.  Where are you located in Oklahoma?  The site's owner, Danger4u2, and I are in OKC.  If you're close by, I wouldn't mind taking a look at it to see what's up.

Never ever trust or believe anyone that spews those words!

I myself, would just pull the engine right outa the cradle and tear it down, and go through the whole thing....as I do with every used bike I purchase. Inspect everything, and replace anything that looks questionable.
