Hi. Can anybody help?! i have a `89 kx250 with a engine that is completely in bits in a box. It needs a complete rebuild, a new piston and barrel and a few other bits that have gone awol in the previous owners garage! I have found a few barrels for sale but they are slightly different to mine which is making me think it isn`t a kx engine, maybe a kdx/kmx? I have only seen pics of the replacement barrels (mail order!) and they have the kips logo cast in the flywheel side but mine has a rectangular panel. Also the way the head is shaped and bolts on appears to be different. The mountings and hose stubs appear to be in the same position but are slightly different. Any ideas which barrels are interchangable and what engine i have? Sorry if this description is a bit vauge but im a new member and have pics but dont know how to post them. please ask if you need any more info. I am at a dead end with this engine and have also been considering a used replacement but cannot find a affordable `89 kx engine. Does anybody know what other motors will fit (or can be made to fit)? I need to get this bike moving! :bang:
