[QUOTE="getndirty, post: 1244601, member: 82127"] Bought a KX65 for boy about a month ago, last time we took it out it was 68 degrees outside, the bike started and ran fine. Today we took it out and the temp was 55 out, bike started and ran fine today as well, for about 10 minutes. Boy forgot to turn the choke off. We were riding a fire road at the park and he said it surged a little, then came back to life and then it died. Thought he fouled a plug, so I swapped that, the bike kicks, but won't start - no signs of life. Took it back to the truck and cleaned all the jets in the carb (used bike, thought I'd make sure). Still no signs of life. Got it back to the shop (garage), pulled the carb and the intake boot for the carb, checked the reeds, they're brand new. Cylinder looks like it was replaced recently as well, so doubt there's any problem there. The cylinder is getting compression (thumb test), but don't know how much...and the guy we bought it from said he did the top end 3 short rides ago (2 hours ride time by his estimation and his son was losing interest). Before I tear into the motor, does anyone have any suggestions? I have a tiny bit of 2-stroke experience from the early 80's, but not much that I remember... Thanks, Al [/QUOTE]
