My 1998 Kawasaki Kx 60 was running fine then my mate had a go on it and he went through all the gears then it cut out, now it wont start off the kickstart but it will bump start and run fine, what seems to be the problem??
Sounds like low compression. Do a compression test,and it should have at least 90psi,..if not,its time to rebuild the top end..(piston,rings,bore)...pretty common for two strokes.
Testimonial: "Cheers pal, I'm gonna have a look at it on Sunday, but it does still run when i bump start it, it has lost a little bit of compression though, but when it runs it still goes into power band and that..."
I wouldnt keep riding it like that. If the compression is that low,then its only a matter of time before a ring or even the piston decides to come apart and damage the head,cylinder,or bottom end.
Only rode it once when i bumped it, anyways took it apart, you could put your finger nail in the score mark on the barrel, it was that bad, can't even bore it out, Piston has chips/dents all over it, and piston rings stuck to the top of the head, so I sold the full bike cheap.

Hi cbloom,
You will have to probabley adjust the clutch either from the end of the cable at the side cover or from the above at the handle lever.
Good Luck .

sounds like the rings are fried and needs a new piston and rings.. for an 80 there about 110 bucks for the whole kit

Clean the carb then remove the water trap bowl from the gas valve. Clean the bowl, any water in it? If water was in the bowl then drain one cup of gas from the tank. Any water or trash in the bottom of the container? Also, are you using stock NGK spark plugs or Autolite plugs. Use stock plugs. Clean the air filter.
Please rate this solution as "FixYa" if able. Thanks!

have you checked the reeds inside the induction side if they are corroded from sitting it will cause that problem, also check the spark plug, may just be a case of weak spark ,if still no good check the coila good way to test if it is a spark problem get a can of aerostart (wyns start ya bastard) and spary a little in carby, should start real easy. if so then spark is your problem. also just thinking check tat your exhaust has not collapsed inside itself or is blocked, that can cause no power too. hope i have been of some help.

hi murray,
nice bike you have there.
have you checked on the carb ans see if the jet is right and the mixture is normal, this is usually the case if the carb is not tuned right.
better of reset the card, open it clean it, then set to default even if you are using your mixture of gas and 2t. just set to factory default. once it starts give it a few run, 1-2 hours, then set it to how you want your mixture to be.
hope this helps,
regards,
voodoo
