[QUOTE="Gibbo, post: 1425751, member: 123649"] Hi all, I'm new to the KDX and have a few questions on my bike if anyone can help... :coocoo: The engine is rattling bad at low RPM but gets nice and smooth when I start to rev her up. The guy I bought it from said that I have to premix the fuel at 36:1 I did that but when I lifted the seat (something he'd obvioulsy not done) I found a Oil bottle that was half full. Now I'm guessing the motor is now running on about 12:1 would that cause my rattle ? she smokes too (a lot) How sure can i be that the oil from the bottle is going in? is it a good system? do they often pack up? can I disable it temporarily to see if she runs different? or should i just drain the tank??? How can I test the oil bottle is doing it's job? I don't want to kill it.. Cheers guys and it's nice to be here, lovely bike too... Oh it's a 1992 KDX 200 He didn't have it long and only ran it once, I'm guessing he thought it was knackered if he was putting way too much oil in it, I got it for a killer price.... :laugh: He also mention that the previous owner took a reed valve out of it and left it out, whats that all about and should i put it back ? where does it live on the engine? Thanks again in advance, i can't wait to get this baby running right. :cool: [/QUOTE]
