My friend owns a 1991 kx 125 that recently acted really weird and then would not start. It ran at a very high idle all of a sudden after he wrecked one day. Upon looking into the problem, we found several potential problems.
1. Air filter horribly dirty. Only cleaned once in about a year. some dirt in airboot and carb.
2. Carb was not completely attached to airboot. Finger wide gap where carb attaches to airboot.
3. rubber Reed valve flange that attaches to carb was broken nearly all the way around. There was only about an inch of attached rubber.
4. on one side of the reed block, the reeds did sit completely against what they are supposed to.
We cleaned the carb thoroughly and cleaned the air filter. I need to know where i can find one of the rubber flanges that attaches in between the reed block and carb. Also, for the reed sealing problem, what needs to be replaced, the reeds or entire reed block. I am pretty sure he doesnt want to buy alot of expensive aftermarket parts when he could spend less going with OEM. I think he is on a tight budget so any reccomendations would be helpful.
