Hey, I noticed my same model the previous owner he blocked off the front tank the same way, do you know why they do that? Was it just a bad pump that they didnt wanna get around to replacing? Was wanting to fix it, I'm in the southwest so it aint rusted. I just don't know why they would do that instead of just repalcing the pump??

If this is Mike h in Orlando then no he didn't pay a dime for it. Well to be honest all of the rent money that was saved living in mommy's extra bedroom for the last 45 years have him plenty to spend on it. 😂😂

Dude, get a shop manual. Worn crank seals, piston rings and gas, 2t mixture too oily ,bad plug. Bad ignition etc. These engines are simple to work on.

The only possible thing on your list is a too oily mixture. However it was mixed per the shop manual specification. The shop manual I had for it. 😂 everything else was new and I was just trying to get it to run long enough to tune the damn thing and break in the rings

I took apart many dirt bike engines and I've never had to read valve upside down not saying that it can't be done my first bike I ever pulled apart I was about 14 years old 86 YZ80 the bike sat in a friend of mine's garage next to my uncle where my uncle lived at the time over 25 years ago I think I paid $150 for the bike I was so happy when I got that bike running the internet was not big at that time they did have it but it was very uncommon so I waited for like a month or two months I think it was over a month or two to get it's called the stator when I put that stator on that thing ran like a champ the clutch was starting to go in it and then from there is history on the rest but I've never had all the bikes I've built never got one with a reed valve upside down or put one upside down myself but hey it happens

Well I did it myself. Not paying enough attention to the silhouette that the Reed valve made with the cylinder just focused on the arrow. And the bolt holes lined up lol. It was a duh moment for sure.

Have a 1987 kx 250 myself just restored what a pig to start would kick ot for ages before it would fire 15-20+kicks. (But if it tip the bike over to the right side for 8 or 10 seconds it will fire firs or second kick)

Yeah, I have something nice to say. Sick bike. You're making good progress so far - keep at it! Couple bits of tuning advice. Check the boot for pinholes - those early years clean up into the early 90's were infamous for cracking. You can "fix" that problem by going to a Boyesen Rad Valve - which makes that piece aluminum and then uses a tiny rubber bit to mate it to the carb. From experience, there isn't a whole lot you can do to "bring the tank back" - but if you want to try, I've had really good success with orange GOJO on a buffing applicator. GO SLOW, and don't overheat the plastic or it will warp. The gas over the years causes them to discolor a little. Not much you can do. Follow with increasing grades of wetsand. The same thing can be done to the airbox with black shoe polish to make it look *BRAND NEW* if you're very careful. Oh, and check for the gasket between your headpipe near the stinger to your silencer, it's leaking just a tad!
