All,
I picked up a used KX250, and my killer deal is not looking that killer anymore.
I got the bike to start once when I first brought it home but now it will not start at all. I checked the spark, but it seems weak. It is a blue spark, just very small. I have fresh fuel mixed at 32:1, and I can feel the air being pulled into the motor when I place my hand over the carb inlet, and if I kick it for a bit I will get fuel comming out of the pipe where it joins the head, and the plug will be damp. I removed the carb and cleaned/blew it out and set the float. while I had the carb off I checked the reeds and found one was torn so I replaced them with Boysen pro reeds and rejetted the carb 4 sizes smaller. I checked the compession and I get 120 to 130 PSI, which seems a bit low to me. I have not tried the old 4 wheeler push start yet and will try that today.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
