96 kx 250 spluttering?
« on: November 17, 2013, 06:48:18 AM »
wel lads have a 96 kx250, just done a full rebuild, 2day was the first test run, was driving it half throttle for most of the day, at the end i was giving it a bit more, but i noticed dat when i hit the power band it spluttered a bit as if the revs were braking down, i messed around with the air/fuel screw, which made a bit of differences, opened bout half to 1 full turn, but was still missing a bit when hitting powerband, 1st 2nd are worst then as u get up threw gears not as bad, bike was grand before rebuild, what you,s thinks, timming, jetting, any suggesting?

I'd pull the plug and take a look first to see what can be seen...
I would then check my kill switch by disconnecting it and running it.
Next, I would check the reed valve to make sure all the petals are in full contact when closed with no cracks or pieces missing.
If no problems are found there I would check the ohm specs of you stator, cdi, and coil.
Let us know what you try... And the results..

No problem.
Always check the cheap and easy things first  :-D
