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.

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.

• Yes it does on klf.Usually there is a oil cooler in the area.I do put a manual switch inline and run it on
• hot days.

Depending of the bike , the tensioner should be a Teflon push plate or a metal plate which pushes on the chain to reduce the slack in the chain .Adjustment can be made manually from the back of the cylinders but all tensioner are different .Some do have a spring which could need replacement . sometimes if the timing chain is too old it make noise due to the tensioner out to the maximum tension and does not apply enough pressure on the chain and therefore noise and slight vibration .

If you are still having fuel feed problems then check the fuel pump (pump may be faulty) and the fuel line filter ( filter may be clogged - replace).

Depends on which one, one will go to the tank valve. Another one is a vent and just goes down to vent gas if overfilled or wrecked.

i think you need to clean the exhaust pipe.sounds like it might be clogged.Dont know if this is a 2 stroke or not.They definately had problems

All vehicles use the 10th character of the VIN number.

Year: 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 10th: M N P R S T V W X Y

Year: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10th: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The head and cylinder can not be removed as a single unit. You will need to put the piston on TDC compression, then check for the cam positioning mark or marks to see where they line up. This is the exact positioning the cam gear must be reinstalled at. Remove the cam gear from the cam and the chain but first hook a piece of wire to the chain so it can't fall down into the crank area. Now the head can come off then the cylinder. The simple diagram is your engine. the other one is generic and shows alignment. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

the easiest way i find is to drain the resevoir, refil and drain with a vaccuum bleeder until clean fluid comes through the bleeder (topping up the resevoir as you do so)
this works for front or rear brakes.
hope this helps

Lock the bike in gear so the sprocket won't turn. Remember that the locknut is a left-hand thread and may have locktite on. If the sprocket still turns then get a friend to hold the drivechain tight and wrap it around the sprocket, this should "jam" the sprocket and not allow it to move.

Hi, all you need to do is clean the carburetor.

I expect the alternator is open circuit or you have a wire off.
Is there any voltage coming out of the Voltage regulator?

The jets are not usually the problem , it is the passage ways through the carburetor body that are usually plugged . A partially fouled spark plug or bad spark plug cap can also cause this type of problem. If you have changed the exhaust system by putting on a more open muffler and you did not put in a larger main jet , this would also cause a hesitation like the one you describe. Hope this helps.

1. Yes, do you must have a battery using pull start.
2. The bike doesn't fire up using start button, but as soon as you try using the pull start it fires up, because the bike's electrical starter motor have a short circuit to the ground or the starter motor supply wire is on short circuit to the ground!
3. Check and repair if necessary the starter motor supply wire. If everything is in good condition then remove the electrical starter motor and repair it!

better look at carb-probly medium n hi jets need ajust-and shud hav a pro do that cause to lean or rich can ruin the engine--buy a clymer manual-it explains kawa carbs well
