I end up picking up a 1993 Kawasaki kx 125 that has been abandoned in a shed for over 6 years. I take it home and try to get it running. #Kawasaki, #Fix, #Cheap,

Well done mate. Respect from the uk. Dont know why so many people give you grief over how your bikes run. Your still young but I think you have good knowledge of mechanics. I'm 39 and I'm still learning and I have rode dirt bikes since I was 10. Keep up the good work 👍

Here’s a veteran tip here. After all preliminary checks oil, filter just take out plug and squirt some premix in the cylinder put the plug back in a give it a kick. If she fires then you can proceed to cleaning the tank and carb. Thanks for the video.

@Mitchell.LeBeau 4 года назад

Bro, just clean the carb, clean the tank, change the plug and change the oil and coolant before you mess with starting it instead of the pouring premix and gas into it, it’s common sense for a bike that’s been sitting this long

I never bash your methods. And just read all of the hate comments on how you do shit. This one made me comment. The thought process of gas going to mix with 6 year old sludge and creating perfect premix. Or the spitting on the pipe and wipe it. Or the no oil down the cylinder this should if been first. Then tear off the carb second. But. Carry on

@ohuigin9249 4 года назад

Ok bud, I can't watch this anymore. That rev at start is called lean an it is how you get cold seizure marks. So flipping draining fuel clean carb, change oil. Clean filter an mix fresh gas an 2 stroke oil fill tank. Then try to start it. Every time you do this stay first. You are damaging the motor. You did damage to this one without a doubt. Not ragging you man, just trying to help.

Hell of a deal....I bought a 91 RM 250 from a guy about 10 yrs ago that had a brand new rebuild on the whole thing. He sold it to me for 600 because it wouldn't start. Got it home and checked the plug and there wasn't one. Fired right up, idled 3 tanks through it and broke it in and i still have it today, still running strong.

@2DclanSnipingTeam 4 года назад

Glad it worked out for you. All manufacturers say to avoid idle and vary RPMs during break in. What do they know?

@CainSample 4 года назад

I bought by daughters kx65 that was left in a shed for 7years...i got it to fire up easy but every rubber seal was bad...water pump needed rebuilt and after riding it awhile the crank seals needed replaced too along with the counter shaft seal 👍

@CainSample 4 года назад

Also mix 2 or 3gallons of white vinegar (cheap from walmart) 50/50 with water n submerge the pipe in that for 3 hours and the rust will rub right off with your fingers...a cooler works perfect

@CainSample 4 года назад

The clutch was also locked and would not disengage when i got it running...so i bump started it n rode around with the clutch pulled in hitting the power and until it broke free amd its been 100% still 5 years later

When 2 stokes sit like that the crank seals usually go bad and your hand compression tester sadly wont tell you I'd bottom end is shot gotta do leak down test. Or do what I did and not worry about like I did and my bike been stripped 3 years. It's a 77 ir 175 crank bearing insert or race is loose and seems like only option is to but the cases or motor on Ebay and hope it dont have same problem.

@bradylamb3008 4 года назад

your crank case seals are blown that’s why it is reviving really high the same thing happened to my 125. since the crank case seals are blown it’s letting more air into the engine then it should which makes it rev way to high. and my 125 was only sitting for 3 years and that happened

@edjacobson8480 4 года назад

Saw a ton of smoke. My 1997 Suzuki RM does the same and it needs new crank seals and bearings which means the cases have to be split. Eventually all the best old bikes need this especially two stroke.

Hey also, the bikes with sight window are supposed to be warned up before it will read right. So that just at the bottom of the window isn't low. Also any bike you buy even more so if it has sat. Do a full service. Then start it. I'm sure you do this to help others. So do it correctly. So then learn to also.

@RealSuburbanCowboy 4 года назад

FYI, once mixed, oil cannot separate from gas. I am guessing someone dumped oil in first, then gas, but by that time, it filled the carb with OIL and it won't run on oil. Mix up some oil/gas, drain the carb and you are good to go.

@hepworth1086 2 года назад

over a very long time the oil settles into the bottom of the tank and carb, i dont get to ride much at all maybe once a year and it done it with my bikes every time, i learnt to drain all fuel and dispose of it
