Hi all on the kx65
I took the top of the carb to try and put a restrictor tube in, now when I kickstart the bike it screams like hell - the throttle is stuck fully open.
I guess I've put the needle/cable/spring back wrong
Any tips
Cheers

Just don't want to go to my local shop and be charged a small fortune for 5 mins work
When I've not scrwed top on throttle seems to work fine
But when the needle is in the guide and top is screwed on then thats when throttle seems to be stuck
Maybe I've got retaining plate in wrong
The Shop
Paw Paw
I will have a play about tomorrow and maybe take pictures if no luck
There's a little raised bit does this slot in the grove or face up
Still not sussed it out
Any tips greatly appreciated
The throttle springs back and seems the piston in carb goes up and down freely
But still I kickstart the bike and the revs are screaming on its own
Any ideas please
Now turn the throttle. Can you see the slide moving up? When you let go of the throttle does the slide snap back down? These are all the things it should be doing.
There is a guide pin on the inside of the carb body which slots into the groove in your slide; be sure those two pieces mate well and aren't gunked up with anything.
Next time I'm at the Lockup I'll have a look and try these things
It was just a coincidence that it developed a leak at the same time
So I've been advised to have the crank seals done so may aswell have it rebuilt at the same time
Is this achievable for a DIY novice or am I better taking it to a bike mechanic
The guy I go to is more a 4 stroke man
Anyone know any decent 2stroke guys in South East Wales area
Cheers
