I have a 1980 175KDX - an old girl I picked up for cheap.
I'm having trouble with the engine powering out - I'm lucky if I can reach 30mph!
I'm new to riding / fixing and what I've worked on is:
- new air filter
- new Boysen Reed
- new spark plug and wire
- new gas (40 to 1 mix)
- cleaned carburator
- compression test (120)
That's about all my limited bag of tricks has in it - Now I'm stuck.
From what I've read in the archives I think I'm looking at the crankcase seals needing to be replaced. Does this sound right? Any other ideas.
Sorry if this answer exists in the archieve - I wasn't sure if I was getting to the correct solution.
