[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 209046, member: 3959"] I removed the carb from the recently acquired KX85 for the kiddo, cleaned it all out and blew out the jets, installed, drained the fuel and put in new, and [I]hoped[/I] it would fire. (I suspected low compression). After nothing I checked spark, good. Checked the plug, good. Tested compression, 45psi...note to self, do this first next time. The YZ250 I fixed and broke it. I shouldn't have touched it I guess. I swapped the leaky fuel petcock with the one from the KX85 that only has 45PSI compression, removed the carb and cleaned it, (had a plugged pilot jet), put it back together (which fixed its leak) and went to take it for a test ride; started right up, but was missing, then died and wouldn't restart a block or 2 from home. Back to square one again. [/QUOTE]
