KX60 HELP! In need of rebuild!
Motorrad:
#1... if you start it without the Carb clamp on.... You will cook a motor and be right back where you started.....
#2. adjustment for the clutch is made up on the bars... (screw the adjuster all the way in... feel for freeplay and adjust from there)..

SLOW DOWN! I can't type that fast! Re-read the above post. You don't need to buy anything. You don't need to remove any engine parts.
Mo-Rad Is (and Rightly so!) concerned about getting the engine started without the carb secured to the intake Boot.
This will cause a lean condition that (most likely) could lead to a run-away, ruining the engine again and in short order.
I'm going to look for a video on how to adjust your clutch and how to check for spark.
Let me see if I can clear this up, the clutch currently has no freeplay and the clutch is slipping in gear.
What this tells me is there is so much pressure on the clutch arm the bike can be pushed in gear and the tire is rolling.
Just to get the clutch fully released may take more adjustment than what is available at the lever.
That's why I want to make sure the bottom of the cable is not only attached correctly, but most of the adjustment is done, just as you would when you would replace the cable.
We'll do one thing at a time. and figure this out.
You are more lucky than you think.
If the bike would have started the clutch would have fried quickly. The carb clamp not withstanding!
That thing was on pretty snug , and I'm trying to figure out what else was missing from the reed block?

I think he needs to start from scratch. Well heck, It doesn't matter to me as long as he get's the clutch adjusted :-D
I always made the inital adjustment at the bottom of the cable and left the fine adjustment at the lever.

Id much rather have to buy and install a new clutch due to frying it.... than a piston, bearings, etc etc... due to a air leak..

Oh Good Grief... I said we were gonna do one thing at a time Mo-rad. Stick with the program :lol:
The clamp is there, I can't remember if I used old towels or shirts, then two plastic bags..
( Hey doesn't this sound familiar)
I got a big can of the spray foam and 4 or 5 burlap sacks my kids left here from summer camp last year.
I'm sure there was a big mess to clean up add a little enthusiasm and I think the clamp ended up in the shirt/towel or blue plastic bag.
Bottom line DO NOT TRY TO START THE BIKE WITHOUT THE CARB CLAMP!!
Enuff for tonight it's way too late back east. turn off the computor text me tommorrow at 12:00 noon NJ time and we'll continue!

Ok I will look for the carb clamp tomorrow. Are you guys talking about me having to open the clutch cover and fool around with stuff or just adjusting the handle and the two bolts on the clutch arm?
