The bike is a KX250 air cooled which i believe to be a 1979.
I guess I will start by saying it is hard to get it started.When I am able to kick it over good and I keep it running in neutral once I shift I would keep it revving to let her take off but once it was fully engaged in gear it does the oh so famous wing...wing...wwuh and stalls.I suspect this has to do with the carb or the other problem I am about to explain but then again I dont know much about bikes yet.
(This is my main problem)Now also besides that problem it blows the oil out of the cases oil supply somehow somewhere and then it will only keep a minimal amount of oil in it.Well right now from the cylinder up is taken off and the cylinder,head and head gasket seem to be in really good shape.The base gasket seemed like crap though.It seemed rubbery in one spot right near the front left hand side stud in the case.Also in the pocket that is in the case right next to that stud had oil in it.The gasket covers that pocket so I suspect that may be where the oil is coming from.But also the exhaust ports flange that holds the pipe in place on the cylinder was not even completly bolted on.It had only 2 out of 3 bolts in it,one of which was too long so it did barely anything.It was in one spot probally 1/8" off the cylinder.At first i was thinking this was where the oil was blasting out but someone told me the cases supply of oil shouldnt be coming out of there.I though it does though and by the looks of the cylinder I could see how it seems it gos there.I dont know...
Now finally I think this is the last big problem.When it seems to be running and it doesnt die like explained in problem one sometimes it will either stick or go up by itself to a wicked high rev which makes the hair stand up on my back since it sounds like its gonna blow it.(I am sure it would if I didnt stop it by shutting it off)I think this may also have to do with the carb.
Any help is greatly greatly appreciated since I have enough money to fix this its just i want to make sure that when its all back together it runs good and doesnt have the problems still.
Thanks everybody!!!
