[QUOTE="actarus, post: 925669, member: 61417"] Hi all ! I am now the proud owner of a 1980 KDX 175 !! First dirt bike at 30 can you imagine :laugh: [IMG]http://142.217.64.94/Photo 027.jpg[/IMG] I think for it's age it is pretty clean ! Kick starter lever died same day I got it :yikes: and is now under repair. The chain is maxed out and the adjustments a all out too so I guess it'll need to be changed. I was wondering if something like bring back the adjustments all the way in and shorten the chain a link or two is something you'd recommend or changing it is the thing to do ? Have'nt inspected rear and front sprokets. Engine still runs fine idle but still wont go forward without stalling right after. I've been suggested it could be a carb issue or gas line being clogged or some seals letting air in in the engine. What do you think of that ? In the service manual it is said to have the gas mixed at a ratio of 20:1 Don't you think it's a bit rich on the oil ? After reading ... it has been recommended many times to run a 32:1 ratio ... would that suit my bike ? But then again ... I don't want to rejet or anything. Well I'm still reading the just kdx and learning a ton !! Awesome amount of info in here :cool: Keep up the good work guys !!!! [/QUOTE]
