KX60 HELP! In need of rebuild!

[chris-mets]

Ok ill buy a new uni filter right now lol and i gave tuck my carb and he said hes gonna jet it as close as 32:1 as he can, but he said im probably gonna have to do it...I have no clue what the jet looks like or how to jet it correct...also should I use just sae 10w30 or synthetic 10w30? the whole bottle/quart right? thanks.

since u said you have no idea how to jet , i suggest you take it to a shop ( a shop charged me $60) to do the jetting.
you dont want to mess around with jetting cause you can make it run really lean and make the motor blow again which will SUCK HUGE .

now for the oil, ive heard synthetic makes the clutch slip cause syn. is more slippery than standard oil.
i personally use Bel-Ray Gear saver 85wt and its great, with perfect shifting.

Ok I bought the new uni air filter on ebay for 20 bucks and wen I get it Ill oil it then throw it in the case. the stuff im worried about when I get my engine back from tuck is the jetting issue and if the motor will work. Also when I connect the carb to the bike and connect the throttle cable and screw the top back on...I pull the throttle and it goes down but doesnt go back up...is it cause of no gas?

[Friar-Tuck]

 That's a little better...  Crank is in the freezer,  looking for something to fit the crank bearing for heat application.
  Dropping in the crank and Closing up the case tomorrow.

 Wer're getting there...

Wow Tuck... Nice work 

  Want a Bultaco motor next?

[Friar-Tuck]

  Like Um. Yea um...Sure  but like, I'm pretty sure you don't have to use a piece of glass to surface your parts!
And Ive seen your work...Sensei..

  Here is a good place for Chris to start reading about Jetting.

  Tuck\o/ 

[chris-mets]

Wow Tuck thanks so much! Im gonna go out to a store and look for the right oil for the bike. Im gonna run just regular lawnmower 32:1 oil in the bike with super gas mix. THen im gonna go out to the store and look for a 10w30...any sugestions on what one I should get? I should probably get a good break-in oil? synthetic or no? Tuck, what do you use in your kx60? THanks.

[chris-mets]

Ok went to the store and got just mobil regular 10w30 and made sure it didnt say energy conserving in the circle on the back cause thats what causes clutch slippage. All I needa do is go to the gas station and get a gallon and make the mix and im ready for when the engine arrives.

  Whoa there fella...The motor oil is for the Transmission...  Stop running out and buying stuff. 
             Step back from the keyboard and take a deep breath!

 The Air filter was a good Idea, not knowing what condition your present filter is in.

  We have lots to talk about. let me e-mail you and we'll get this worked out. 

I don't want to waste Dangers Bandwith.

 You can be getting the rest of your bike ready to ride.   I would like you to get a small plastic bag and wrap up the needle and slide hanging from the frame.   I didn't realize you didn't know how to disconnect it and keep it with the carb.

     Your going to need a few things you will be able to use.

  1)   A Ratio Rite Measuring cup.  This comes in handy for all kinds of things.
     
  2)  Readily available Synthetic Two Stroke Pre-Mix Oil

  Is there a motorcycle shop near you that you can get to?   If you have to you, can get oil through E-bay.

  Automotive places sell pre-mix too.    Let me/us   know what is available.  we'll find an oil that you can get easily,
   so you don't have to wait for the brown truck.

  One step at a time...

yes make sure you get 2 stroke oil.

and i recommend you mix the gas shortly before you get the bike ready so the gas dont go old

[Friar-Tuck]

  Hey CM,
  Before you get anything else I would like you to get this book. This is your assignment.
I know its a few years old, but it still has some 2stroke stuff.

This is the new one, You will learn alot from it also, http://www.amazon.com/Four-Stroke-Motocross-Off-Road-Performance-Motorbooks/dp/0760340005/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1310145523&sr=1-3

[chris-mets]

Whaaa? im confused?? I bought the oil to pour into the crankcase where it says 0.6L. And the thing that really confuses me is that I sent the needle and gold slide thing with the spring already attached when I sent the carb out. I disconnected it from the throttle cable and connected it to the carb. I already have the gas oil mix at 32:1 and ready to go....why would i need that ratio rite cup? I dont really have much money to keep throwing into the bike again. Thanks.

Chris

[chris-mets]

Oh and I just opened the exhaust and cleaned and repacked it.

[Motorrad]

Im gonna run just regular lawnmower 32:1 oil in the bike with super gas mix.

Thats a Big NO-No there chris..    Never run mower/weed eater/ chainsaw oil in a dirt bike... 

[chris-mets]

Noo I mean the little black craftsman cannisters of 2 cycle engine oil.
