Hello, This is great! I finally found a forum with somebody that is in the same boat as me. I recently purchased a 420 KDX 1981. I rescued this bike that has been sitting in the guys backyard for eight years. I took it apart repaited it, put a new sparkplug in and presto a new bike. Only I'm noticiting a few more problems with it than I bargained for, for example, the rear shock is shot and the front in on it's way. I ran the bike up a mountain and it started to rev like crazy so I shut off the gas and wiated for it to die. The throttle cable was stuck because of melted plastic on the insert. I just put a new cable in that cost me 40 bucks and it worked for about five minutes and after I took it around the block it started to rev like crazy again, which in turn is driving me crazy! I know my carb needs some adjusting, and I think it's sticking somewhere inside the carb. Just wanted to know if that is what it is. Maybe it's an easier fix. Please help.
