TD3: It seems that only the spur gear is the same. Maybe we can work out something on servicing those forks.
morie: Thanks. I laugh now, but I may TRY later.

Hi Jason, the carb is indeed a Mikuni (round slide). I have it apart and cleaned the pilot and main jets.
The problem is it will start, idle and run for a minute or so and then die. Does that sound like a float issue ?? If so how would one adjust the float level ?? With the carb upside down which way to I bend the tang to raise the float level ?? I'm sorry if this all sounds vauge, its because I haven't actually run the bike yet. I'm just going of what the owner told me today. I will be able to run it in the morning and give a better description of its syptoms. Do I just adjust the float the same way as the PWK ?? Thanks for any help you can provide... Trev...

Hi. As best I remember, it is the same way as a Keihin, just bend the little tab. When you are holding it upside down, bend it away from you will cause a lower level. That will cause the tab to hit the valve/cut-off sooner. On my '87, that mechanism is replaceable, so you may want to disassemble that part and inspect it. It might need a new fuel shut off valve.
How are the exhaust pipe and spark arrestor internal conditions, all clogged up maybe?
Thanks,
Jason

I was just hoping to have an air-cooled KDX thread started instead of it buried in a thread on a kickstarter.
