Hey guys,
About the 50 again. After a ride, I turn the killswitch off and the gas off and Im done...Then when I go for a ride again I turn the gas back on and the killswitch on then just start kicking automatically. It takes a lot of kicks to turn over about 10 kicks. I think its probably cause the carburetor is clogged or something. The guy ran 40:1 and Im running 32:1. If I took the carb off of it could I send the carb to someone and they will clean it? amateur at carburetors... Thanks.
Chris

Hey CM,
Great looking Bike! Why don't you start a new thread in "My Other Bike"
I'm having my new parts installed wed so I'll be out of commission for a bit. :|
There are plenty of video's and write ups on how to service your new carb. I think you can do this.
Save the money it would cost you to take the bike to a service center and get a good chest protector an leat brace.
Think about it..

Also... there is a time in life you need to just bite the bullet and learn..
The Clymer manual for your KX is pretty close to what the KTM internals look like.
Just thinking of a friend I have...
He has.. Hmm.. 8 bikes? and only 1 runs. they all ran when he got them.. But.. since he always asked for others to do the work for him.. etc.. he never learned how to do his own wrenching, cant fix them himself (all easy stuff), and cant afford to pay a service center to do it....
READ YOUR CLYMER...
Me and tuck will find somthing on the net that is a good tutorial.. (cleaning out jets)
and DIVE IN... and learn..
If you cant get it to work. that is when you ask for help... not before you even put forth any effort..

when i bought my 500 in 2006, I knew nowt about strokers.after being on here after discovering this site in 2009, and lots of reading and being systematic theres now no part of the engine which i find daunting.have a pop yourself, if need be take pics so you can see how it went together.K.
chris-mets:
