Message: [QUOTE="omrik88, post: 1376004, member: 116035"] Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. Got a 1988 kdx 200,white. It smokes alot - when engine is cold and hot. Can't get it to Idle - engine stops if i don't hold the throttle. The engine seems to work very well when riding ! It's an old bike and i'm working on it, so i'll try to give as much information as i can : 1)Fuel mixture - 2.5% oil to 1 liter of gas(95 unleaded).Should i use leaded fuel? 2)Airbox-new filter,boot is dry&cracked - coated it with RTV silicone outside. 3)Carb-Keihin 36mm,modified by DG performance, needle clip position-3(middle).Cleaned it. It's an old carb - there are signs of ware(scratches etc.).Idle tuning&Choke are on the same screw - Idle dont seem to respond. The carb Boot is also cracked. coated it with RTV as well. 4)Cylinder- modified by Freddete. I have not opened the head,but i know for sure that it's dirty and the top of the piston as well. I can see some scratches on the piston,both rings are on.Reeds- checked them,cleaned,tightened - look ok but will need new ones. 5)Expansion chamber - by PSI, in good shape, i put RTV where it connects to the motor,so it seals better. 6)Silencer - by DG, cleaned and repacked it. I thought of getting the stock Carb back on (keihin 35mm ?), but since it's a modified engine, isn't there a risk of the piston getting siezed due to a wrong mixture or something? I hope that's enough info. Thanks alot for taking the time to read this! I would really appreciate your help. Omri. :) [/QUOTE]
