[QUOTE="Jerulator, post: 1321561, member: 100053"] Hello to all, I'm new here at this forum and am looking for specific help in reviving an old 1986 KDX 200 that I recently purchased on a whim for appx $200. I'm hoping to revive it on a low budget (obviously) but I know it will need at least about $200 in parts minimum to get it going. Ok let me start with what I've done and / or where I'm stuck. I want to get the bike started first before buying any plastics , tires, chains etc. So I have completely disassembled the Mikuni V12 carb and cleaned thoroughly all jets, needles etc... But while attempting to adjust the float levels, I noticed that when I filled the bowl with fuel, that the two floats were out of balance when floating (sort of like my family jewels :rotfl: ) one hanging lower than the other. Do I need new floats? Next I put the bike together enough to attempt to start it. I have changed the motor oil, and fresh pre-mix fuel, I checked for ignition spark (good blue spark) basic checks. Now when I kick it over and use some starter fluid ether, I don't even get a bark out of her. So I pull the new plug to check it out, It looks great BUT there is no fuel on the tip at all (not even the smell). It seems to me that shes starving for fuel. Could this be associated with the floats / carb issues ? Thanks in advance for any help here. Jerry [/QUOTE]
