[QUOTE="Xiahoux, post: 1362226, member: 101097"] I have a 2000 KDX200 which is very hard to start when cold. I can kick it 30-40 times, choke on and off, every combination and it will eventually crank. But, here is the trick...I can bump start it with zero effort and then the bike purrs. After the initial bump start and 30 seconds of warm-up you can kick start with no issues; first time, every time. I have read lots of articles online that talk about a leak in the magneto at the crank seal and how this could create the hard to start situation. I pulled the flywheel yesterday and checked it out. There is the slightest bit of dried oil below the seal but nothing significant. I am guessing that that accumulation happened over the 9 years of the bike and is nothing major. Carb is freshly cleaned and floats are adjusted properly. I have tried the "lean the bike over to flood the bowls" trick as well. No action that I have found will make the bike easy to kick when cold. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
