Question -
i have a 88 kx 80 and was riding it and racing a freind, not getting on it to hard but was riding the power band. was in 6th gear rpms not to high and it cut out and i cant get it to start now. has compression, spark, and is getting gas (cleaned carb) any ideas?
Answer -
Is it trying to fire? If so, tell me EXACTLY what happens. I need ya 2 b as specific as possible! Good luck and let me know!
well when i checked the spark the gas vapors that came out the spark plug hole ignited but it dont seem to be trying to start at all

So there was raw gas in the cylinder? That would mean it's not firing hot enough. I would say u should try to change the plug and let me know what happens! Good luck.

How longs have u had the bike, and have u ever put in new rings?
AnswerOk. If the bike is ridden only seasonally it is recommended u replace the rings each year as a 2 stroke burns them up rather quickly. How did u clean the carb by the way? Y did the vapors from the plug hole ignite, Were u testing the plug that close to the hole? If so, it still doesn't mean it has "good" spark. Change the rings, tell me bout the carb and install a new plug. Do the plug first to see if it will fire. Good luck and let me know!
