14yrs. old on a kx250

no it only fouls when it goes on its side. when i pick it back up it refuses to start and i have to push it back. i tried the gas off throttle wide open kick it process and it definitely worked but it almost started cause i kicked it too hard. oh and there is like no play whatsoever on the throttle. we've set the 2 adjustments all the way 2 loose and no results. im not convinced that's the right throttle cable, so i may just get a new one. oh yeah, xl-1 power wash, anyone use that? i do, and its excellent if u use it right. my kx rivaled the ktm(brand new) in cleanliness and overall looks afterwards!

anyone know of a kickstand for a 98 kx 250? ive got about $100 to spend on one.

 Looks like you can get any kind of stand you want, new, for less than 90. Looked in my Motosport Outlet Mag and nice center stands that lift your bike off the ground are around $80, and a prop stand that you lean the bike against is only $20.
 Sounds like your bike is flooding, not fouling, if it happens when you crash it. You definately need to hold the throttle wide open when kicking. You being 14 makes me think, you may not weigh enough, to make it an easy kick. If you feel like you're putting your foot up by your ear, that also makes balancing a problem. Try putting the left grip against a tree or something, so you can stand up, and so you can get as much as possible into the kick. And its always less trouble, in neutral. Also, slowly push the kicker around until you feel the compression of motor stop your foot. then wind it up for a hard kick. Hope that helps, Bud.

yes it does. and i never meant fouling, i knew it was actually flooding. but im a big guy for a 14 yr old, so i can start it w/ little problem on level ground(though an elevation can cause problems) im like 5' 9'' or 10''. my big mistake was i kicked it like regular and it almost started but i reacted quickly and jabbed the kill switch. even if it does flood, a new sparkplug makes it all better, theyre just a pain in the u know what to change. but im lookin for an actual bolt/clamp on kickstand that really attaches to the swing arm. at our local dealer the closest we came was a 96 kx, so i gotta wait till monday to try again. the ktm uses a $20 lean triangle thing(u know waht im tryin to say) so ill pick try to pick up one of those temporarily
