Going over the 1989 KDX200 for previous ownerisms and noticed that the carb is a round slide keihin with the idle and air screws on the right-hand side (hard to get to) Choke is on the left which is OK. The buy-kawasaki site shows a semi flatside with idle and air screws on the left with the choke.
Previous owner has screwed the idle screw into the slide to create a 0.5mm notch that means setting idle is near impossible. Any thoughts on filing the slide as a temporary fix?
The fun of purchasing a new second hand bike. Silicon sealant to replace the transmission output shaft seal, the transmission drain plug gasket missing and 8 different bolt types with 4 different head sizes just to hold the plastics on. Means I found the missing bolts from the governer side cover and clutch cover that were leaking. I guess the bike looked good.
Previous owner had heaps of empty bottles of good synthetic oil on his shed wall. I know why.
