Hey everyone. I got a old 2001 kx85 yesterday and me and my brother have been workin on it ever since trying to get it back in running order seeing As its been very neglected. The bloke I baught it off said it had just had a rebuild and taken for a few rides then left in the shed. Won't go into detail but it was in really bad shape! All fixed up now beside the fact it seems to leak gearbox/clutch oil into the bore and out the exhaust? Put enough in so it was about half full lookin through they eyeglass but now it's empty and was pissin oil out .. Needs a new o ring for the exhaust so it was just dripping from the bottom of the expansion chamber then running out when it ran, was running really weird so took carbie off again because I thought mabey I didn't get the float levle right and then it ran a lot better but I went to take off and it stalled nowI can't even get it to start? not really a 2 stroke wiz alli know is it's just had a top end rebuild and new reeds, plus I cleaned the carb and airbox before even attempting to start it and cleaned fule tank out and put fresh fule in, has spark -fule and did the old school thumb over sp hole comp test and seems to have good compression s no don't see why it won't run.. Thanks in advance for any help
