Throttle stuck
I took apart the carb to check to see if the float is working. When I put it back together the throttle wouldnt budge. When I loosened the cable to get some play, the tension brtoke part of the plastic where the cable goes in. Still dont get much movement, whats wrong?

You need a manual my man.... look up top on the right. Float height has to be pretty exact... it's not an eyeball thing....

Of the carbs internals... like the float assembly...
You should be able to pick up an 88 carb pretty cheap on eBay...

My float gets stuck when I forget to turn the gas back on and I burn all the gas outta my carb. When it fills back up it overflows. When it starts overflowing I shut off the gas knock on the bowl hard untill i can hear the float moving around. Then turn on the gas and problem is solved.

See if the tip of the valve is worn. If the slope of the valve is worn it won't seal. You can pick a new valve and clip cheap and it will eliminate one possible cause. I myself have seen few KDX's that don't at least have a little leakage. Not like you lay it on its side but some peeing none the less.
PS doesn't that float pin suck!!!

When the carb is running out of gas the RPMs will shootup also. If you cann't lower the idle with the screw then you might have a lean condition. I would think that it would take alot of force to bend the needle. I would think much more than what broke the plastic piece. You should be able to visually look for a bend in the needle.
Did your valve look like this at all? The clip I am talking about is the wire piece at the top of the valve.

I tried to start it before work and there wasnt enough gas. I put some gas in when I came home but it was too late to fire it up. So ill see tommorow im going to the kawi dealer for some stuff after I check it out.
I went to add some oil and the twist off rubber cap broke. Are these the same for most models or will it be back ordered?
I want to do a oil change.
I forgot to do a compression check. Is it important to have no gas or can I just disconect the fuel line? Hold the kill in or disable the electronics?

Doesn't matter about the gas. Hold the throttle wide open and hold the stop button and kick her over until the guage stops raising.staxbrix wrote: Is it important to have no gas or can I just disconect the fuel line? Hold the kill in or disable the electronics?
