KX250 harder to start than CRF250X?

[Brandon582]

Hey everyone, I have a 2001 KX250, and a 2006 CRF250X. I have always had trouble starting the KX ever since I've owned it because I'm a small guy, so I've always bumpstarted it and just said it is what it is. However, recently I picked up the CRF and was amazed at how easy it is to kick over.. nothing like the KX. The KX has 190psi, new plug, runs amazing once I bumpstart it. Is this normal that my 2 stroke 250 is way harder to kick over than the 4 stroke? The crf is mint also, I got it from a friend who was moving and he rarely rode it ever, him being the only owner since 2007

my 2 stroke starts usually on the first kick. try different screw turns of the idle adjust on the carburetor.
