Hi Kieron, you can download the workshop manual here where you can find out how to tension the chain... KLX MANUAL HERE

replace the fuel line , remove tank and remove fuel tap and clean out ! might be a good idear to strip the carb too ! sounds like the bike not used enough and the fuel gone off ! 6mths and fuel is off and only good for cleaning dirt off parts !! P....

Plz Check Full Cable Condition. Sounds Broken From Throttle Handle To Carb

clean the air filter and carburetor and change the spark plug

Dont worry about specs as they are done up as tight as you can do

Often times this is caused due to the line being too old/damaged and needs to be replaced. Also check the condition of the clamps if any on the line to ensure they still smug up. In cases where the bike is fuel injected, their is a pump inside the tank that can have hoses rupture internally. These can be a chore to replace, but with proper tools, and patience they can be done at home.

it sounds like the needle is sticking in the seating area,pull the carby apart agian take the float out and underneath shold be the needle and seat ,if it has a rubber needle end may need to replace if you can not clean it out properly,and check the rubber diagphram on the slide ,you can damage the diagphram buy blowing air into the carby,if that has a rip in it replace the slide cheers

I'm not familiar with all quads and all the kill switch locations. Does it have a tip-over kill switch? Is it working? Is the quad in neutral? Is the neutral light on? Many engines will not spark if the neutral light is not on. Are the headlights off when starting?

How good is your battery? A low battery can kill spark. Test for spark by grounding the threads of the plug against the cylinder. Have a friend kick the bike while you watch for spark. Assuming no spark, then check all the kill switches with an Ohmmeter to be sure each switch is working properly. Sometimes a switch goes bad. Try disconnecting all kill switches then check spark.

Check the wiring harness, even under the gas tank and seat. Are all the connectors clean and with a tight connection? Any abraded wires? Check the ignition switch also. The switch can go bad as well. Are the flywheel coils good > is the battery getting a charge?

Still no spark? If CDI then get it checked.
If points then file or replace them along with a new condensor and reset the gap then time the engine. >> I hope this helps.

Please rate this answer. Thanks trsrhntr!

pilot jet pluged up needs to be cleaned.

check for water in the fuel and shorts in the HT leads to the plugs.

I would just get another starter unless you can rebuild it.

That could possible be a drain back tube or vent tube. May also be overflow tube. Follow tube back from carburetor and see where it goes.

adjust the valves or the rocker arms you want a little slap but not mutch

head gasket gone, when apart check that the head is ok or wether it needs skimming otherwise this will keep happening

definitely head gasket gone. examine head when apart to see if it needs skimming otherwise it will keep happening

have you tested the lead it could be faulty

You need to take off your carburetor , disassemble it, and clean the jets (specifically the slow jet) and the passageways in the carburetor body that feed the gas to the carburetor throat. Carefully set your air screw setting back to stock setting. and reassemble. Inspect the intake manifold and air box tubes for cracks and separations. That should get you idling again.

over rich - if it does the same with no filter on try dropping the needle .if it's fine with no filter than try a free flowing one . float hight may be incorrect - double check where the float hight should be measured from. if carb has a diaphram in it make sure its correctly positioned it could be keeping the needle to high up. you could try a lower octane fuel.
