TUck, I will be sure to check that link out. I also got to get those jets sent back out to you. About the kx now. When I go in the garage to start it up, I turn the gas on and kick it. Before, it took 1 kick every single time without the choke. Now with the jets in it, i try to start it without the choke and I kick 4 times without choke then I pull the choke out and it starts 1 or 2 after that. Why is this? Also when its running, I turn the choke off then rev it a little. Its at a highish rpm when idling but after letting it warm up for like 3 mins, it goes to a lower idle then stays there and is good from there. Is this normal? its not a problem but im thinking this might help diagnose the long time of starting.
Im gonna do my homework now then get working more on the cb. I actually got my friends pocket bike running for him and I put the carb back on and all the cases. I had to take the positive wire and put it touching the two metal parts onthe circle cdi. THen it sparked a lot and cranked. THen I charged it and it works now. But it doesnt stay idling. My friend with the cb says he still thinks the battery needs to be charged even more cause the horn doesnt work. So im gonna charge it more.
I hope I can manage to get the carbs off the cb today. THe clutch lever is really stiff too. I adjusted the freeplay and its still stiff...I think its cause its such a big bike/engine? Ill do updates when I can. Thanks 1989 kawasaki. YOur bikes are really nice too.
Thanks guys.

I'm on my way out the door to another Dr. apptment... Choke first, start it warm up then choke off.
Yes that's right especially now that it's colder. Choke on-> warm up -> choke off
Careful with the electronics... one false move could fry the ignition.
Catch you later this eve. or early tomorrow.

P.S. finally posted your piccy's :-P

Hey Tuck, when do you want me to send those jets back out to you? Anytime let me know.
Also why does it take longer to start? I miss the old 1 kick and it goes no problem. Tell me what I should do to get it running like it is now and have 1 kick again? Although it does smoke a lot still. Thanks.
