2007 KLX250S Hard Cold & Hot Start
#52
I was able to check the compression, and it is showing 110psi. I also was able to buy a new carburetor from ebay off of an 09 klx. I hooked up the new carburetor and I am still having the exact same issues I've had all along. Bike will not start and operates in the same way as the old carburetor by twisting the throttle just slightly. Having the choke on or off produces the same results. Don't know what else to do.

The gentleman I bought it off of actually has a dino machine and asked for my bike's specs and my temperature/altitude and said he would properly setup the carb. I also went ahead and inspected the carburetor's float level and jets to make sure he did it correctly. Looked correct to me, just didn't solve the issue I am having. Weird how I can get it to bump start every time though, just doesn't want to idle or start on an electric start. I'm seriously considering selling this thing and moving on.

IMHO no more than you have in the bike...and having exhausted all your troubleshooting capabilities....do what Andy told Aunt Bee .....Call the man....take it to the shop....tell them to troubleshoot....and call before doing any repairs...I wouldn't tell them anything that you've tried ....I'd play dumb....tell them the problem..and let them figure it out...with any luck you'll be letting the good tymes roll in no time...and stop the balding process aka pulling your hair out

It's possible that something may be occurring with the KACR to reduce compression to too low a condition for a good cold start, but I'd tend to think it's not a big possibility. Cold starting with at least sufficient compression should be relying more on the proper amount of fuel than just about anything else for the KLX. The choke with a drilled starter jet should supply enough fuel. I see several folks mention cracking the throttle for a cold start on the CV carb, but it's a fact that this will reduce the draw of fuel through the starter circuit. It doesn't mean the bike won't still start, but you pull less fuel through the choke circuit with the carb butterfly off of its idle stop.
I also have hard starting bike, hot and cold. There are many forums on the ACR talking about its setting not being scientific and large varying degree of placement from bike to bike. Marcelino's cam mode thread has lots of talk and pictures of the ACR. I will adjusting mine when I have time.

Let's summarize:
Bike will start with e starter, but will not run @ low rpm & stalls, constantly after warming up.
Bike can be bump started, and will run perfect.
What is the problem with the use of e starter?
The ACR is not tied to the e starter. Don't think that is the problem.
Are you using the choke on both conditions?
My real opinion, is that this is crazy and your just pulling a fast one on the forum.
