Hey Guys! I am frustrated! :aj:
I recently bought a second hand 97 kdx200. The bike wouldnt kick start. So I have changed the plug, cleaned out the carb with some carb cleaner etc. Now the bike kick starts fine. The bike idles fine. It revs fine in neutral. But when i ride it as soon as i open up the throttle (prob to about 50%) it starts to stutter and shake and wont accelerate any more and begins to die. If i let the throttle up it comes back to life.. but still only at low revs.
Please help! I dont know what could be causing this! I test rode the bike 10 days ago and it didnt have this problem - what could be causing it ? and how do i go about fixing it?
(as a side matter - how can i get at the carburetor to open it up to clean the Jets ?)
Thanks guys
