Hello Everyone,
I'm brand new to the board and I'm looking for some help.
This is my situation:
I bought a 87 KX5 about two weeks ago, it had been sitting for a few years before that. I cleaned the carb, freshened up the gear oil and put fresh gas in her and she ran great, took her down the road and ran very strong and smooth thru all the gears.
After about a week I noticed the gear oil looked milky so I replaced the water pump bearings and oil seal.
Shortly there after, but not immediately, I noticed a lack of power. The bike starts up with out a problem, but now as I run through the gears it seems to rev up high but have very little power.
I took the carb of again and looked it over, seems clean to me.
I messed with the fuel and air mixture and it didn't seem to make any difference at all.
I'm talking like 4 turns out just to see what it would do and no change.
I've done some searching on this forum and the only thing that seems to be a possibility is a power valve problem?
I'm not leaking oil out of any base or head gaskets, just around the gear shifter.
I took off the flywheel cover and it is bone dry so I don't think I'm sucking air at any bad seals.
I've tried explain this situation the best I can. Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Garrison
