[QUOTE="kdxgeoff, post: 823663, member: 56000"] its an 81 kdx175. bought it used and ran into all kinds of problems. first the coil went. got a new one. then the stator and flywheel. replaced those too and the bike ran great. fouled a couple plugs trail riding(not riding it hard enough) and then all of a sudden one day i was riding, everything was great, i stopped for a smoke kicked it back over and it felt like i had a flat spot that i couldn't throttle through, hence the bike never hit its powerband. i'm not sure how i did it but i ended up running it hot enough or something and got over the flat spot. boom powerband again. everything ran great rode about an hour and put it away. came back to it the next day and same thing runs ok with a little throttle but try to gas it for powerband and you get brr brr brr. but no whine like powerband. it sputters. seems like its flooding. i got lucky again this time and slowly let it climb and it hit powerband, once it hits powerband once its like its hot enough and no problem. but when you stop and shut it off when you start back up its sputters. this last time i was not able to get it past the sputter. no powerband, no power, just sputter. any ideas. thanks [/QUOTE]
