Hi, There is no engine oil on this bike. It is a 2 stroke and the oil is in the mix. When you mix the gas and 2 stroke oil together it will burn and lube the parts that need it. Hope that helps.
Ease the kick start lever just past TDC (top dead center) compression. This puts the piston on the downward power stroke. Twist the throttle one time. Now kick it over. Don't twist the gas with every subsequent kick. A power valve squirts gas with each twist and can flood the engine really quick. A fresh spark plug, clean air filter and good battery will also help. Drain the carb to be sure no water has gotten into it.
Have you tried the husky yet? Yes -, it's a good deal. One hill climb should be enough! Make sure to tape the launch for posterity... P.S.- Huskys like to play in CO., WY., and any other tall places- ED
Gearbox oil may be getting into the crank area. Check the oil in the crank, is it motor oil or two stroke oil? If it is motor oil then you will need to split the center case and clean/re-seal the case halves. Be sure to install new crank seals. New crank bearings? If 2 stroke oil, just put a cup of gas in the crank to thin the oil, rotate the crank a few times to mix gas and oil, then just tip the bike over to dump the mix out of the case. If the bike has an oil pump, see if you can lessen the stroke of the pump. If mixing 2 stroke oil in the gas tank, Be sure to use only 2 stroke engine oil at 32 to 1 ratio. That equals 4 ounces of oil to a gallon of gas.
i know you have to change the oil and oil filter but how often and is that the only thing different from maintance on a 2-stroke?. Im getting an 04 kx 250f any help would be great!The two most important aspects of four-stroke maintenance are frequent oil/filter changes and regular valve clearance checks/adjustments. And some four-strokes (RMZ450 for example) have a manual timing chain tensioner that must be regularly checked/adjusted. Everything else is exactly like a two-stroke.,,,
