  • This video includes a lot of discussion while I inspect a hard to start KXF. I find the valve clearance out of tolorance and make corrections. Also the carburetor is removed and inspected to find a couple of issues.

    As far as these fc carbs go, one of the main things missed on rebuilding them is the mid body o rings. They don't come with the carb rebuild kits but you can get them from all balls racing or moose. Because the mid body never gets opened cleaned etc. the o rings deteriate and clog the passages of the mid body, you may be able to blow air through from bottom of carb but it's still clogged, and will cause hard starting and a Bog.

    I can’t see how much that is off but I proved that the top dot is slightly off from factory in one of my videos with lazer and my bike runs great. The timing in the book is explained differently on the dots with the top of the head and counting cam chain pin links.

    I just bought a 2005 or 2006 kx250f for 600 dollars.. the guy I bought it from said it would only push start... I re-shimmed the valves... and cleaned the carb... it’ll kick start now... but my throttle is not returning.. when I wrap the throttle it just doesn’t really return like it should and I haven’t got it to idle real good yet or crank real easy... any answer as far as throttle return? And maybe some fine tuning on the carb... I do have 42 pilot btw

    • @Gizmowerks
      @Gizmowerks  4 года назад +1

      Check the throttle grip tube, throttle cable, and then check the slide for free movement. Best to disconnect the throttle cable from carburetor and check these things individually

    • @matthewsmith5109
      @matthewsmith5109 2 года назад

      Also check and see if you have 2 cables from throttle to carb. I've bought some bikes with only one cable. The usually take off the throttle return cable 🤦

      They aren’t exactly 12:00 but close with the tensioner load. As the cam chain stretches it get even worse. This one was more like 12:00 and 11:00

    My 07 kx250f had an issue where it wouldn’t start hot but would amazing cold. It was the valves, I would warm it up and it wouldn’t start but I even timed it and I let it sit for 3 minute are second kick. Now in oct 9th I can start the bike with me hand litterly it’s crazy

      Search videos for valve clearance or “lash” shim bucket type. The exhaust valves stretch over time and the clearance gets less and less till its hard to start among other issues you described.

    My kxf250 won't idle. Just cuts out but my idle screw the black plastic one is jammed. If I move it it will slightly turn then bounce straight back. Is it common for these to jam like this? Absolutely brilliant video by the way. Currently watching it in my spare time while picking up the kids and I don't want to go in and get them yet I just want to keep watching 😂

    • @Gizmowerks
      @Gizmowerks  Год назад

      Sounds like maybe the spring is grabbing into the plastic screw. If you ever get it apart, put a washer under the screw b4 the spring

    • @Gizmowerks
      @Gizmowerks  Год назад

      Or, being cable driven (idle stop screw) the drive is flexing. Some times, it may be necessary to disconnect at the float bowl. That allows the cable to be straight (instead of bent 90) and give better advantage to back it out

      Hey man, back when this was filmed I think this job was under 200$. See if you have someone old school and local to work on your bikes instead of a dealership. Go to swap meets, races, and keep your eyes peeled for houses with motorcycle “bone” piles. Most legitimate shops will make a quote so high that they don’t have to work on it.

    • @Gizmowerks
      @Gizmowerks  5 лет назад

      When was the last time it ran and what changed simce then? You covered most basics but a compression test could be a good help. Post the resulting PSI here, compression release wired out and throttle wide open.
