Re: Kdx start issue
Is the carb new or used? Maybe it is a dirty carb?
NGK BR8ES is fine for most 1989 - 1994 KDX200's.

Re: Kdx start issue
Float level ok?
8 is for trail riding, 9 maybe for high speed dessert or maybe MX. I never could get mine too rub right and switched tip an 8, plug temp turned great from black
