can any one hep me out with this as i aint got a clue

i have repaced the plug it has a strong spark the fule is getting into the carb fine but when i kick it over all i get is back fires ??

 

Hmmmm I don't know Mike, but welcome to the forums, there is a lot of knowledge here collectively, be patient and someone here will know what to look for. Again welcome and stick around and get to know these monkeys, they are a good bunch of guys......and gals

 

Hey Mike I just thought of something, what year is the bike? Was it running great the last time you shut it off? I am now wondering if a piece of carbon got in one of the valve seats and is holding one of them slightly open. That will mess things up, but usually gets kicked out in a hurry. If you can do it safely, you might try pull starting the bike and see if you can clear the throat of that bike. Just a thought. But like I said there will be someone who knows exactly what the dealio is.

 

Being that the kx125 is a two stroke, you have good spark and a new plug....I would verify fuel delivery first, do a plug read to see if it fouled. You may want to go through the carb, ie cleaning and float level adjustment.

Welcome to KF!

 

LOL I just realized that it was a KX and not a KLX, thus there would be no valves. So the DEE DEE DEE award for today goes to me.

 

hahaha, deej. Its all good

 

Yeah, Start with the carb and plug. Work your way back to the reed cage and make sure one isn't broken off or a slit in the boot. Then see if the power valves are opening and closing correctly. Hope it helps it's been awhile.

 

also, check the compression if you can.

 

thanks for the help i have cleaned out all ov the carb and put it back on the bike and the back fire has gone when kicking the bike over but it still wont start

i am going to put fresh fule in it to day and have another go as it has not been started now for about 2 moths

will let you no how i get on.

as this is my first bike i am still bit basic so will av plenty more questions to come lol

thanks again mike
