bike does not want to idle

Post by kawasaki220 »

I have a 2000 kawasaki kdx 220 . I live in ontario just providing that info as I don't know the sea level here. The only mods to the bike are a end fatty and a fmf silencer believe a power core 2.

I have been having a issue with my bike not wanting to idle. I have gone through alot of checks and this is what I have found but I can't seem to get this problem licked and looking for help before I try and take it in.
I will first start off my compression in 148psi with 22 hours on the top end . the reed bales are not cracked chiped or deformed. The gaskets are all are all in good shape and when I run the bike i have sprayed carb cleaner and uses propane to try and detect a leak and seems to be all good. Now into the carb I have cleaned the carb out and inspected it for the float Height witch is within range. My needle jet is different than factory it is a r1173l2aflp the c clip is on 2nd groove from the top. The jets are different aswell main jet is 140 and piolt 38. I did not remove the tamper proof torqued to check the jet block gasket as I can't seem to find one. I was told to try and repack the muffler so I did that awell . I will add some pictures to see if I can get some help. Sorry for the long thread and if the crammed and punctuation is bad I am on a auto correct device. Plug looks to have carbon build up and don't know how to add pictures

Have you cleaned the jets? The jet block gasket could be the issue. You can get it here http://www.jetsrus.com/individual_parts/021_532_su.html
