Dies after a few minutes after running wrong oil?

[Awesome_Trevor]

I accidentally ran a tank of 10W-40 oil through my 2001 KDX 220 and it ran perfectly fine during the time but i just recently came back from vacations and now its having problems starting it takes about 50-100 kicks to start and once it does start it runs for a few minutes and then starts to bog down extremely bad and dies i don't know what to do.

I just put in a new spark plug today

If you can help me thanks

I would suggest starting by drain all the old gas / 10W40 mix out of the tank and also draining the carb bowl. If I remember correctly, the 10W40 does not stay dissolved in gas like regular 2-stroke oil does, and it might be all stuck in the carb.

If that does not fix it, then you are probably going to have to clean the entire carb. That is of course assuming that the top-end is still good and the compression is not ruined ????

Is the bike easier to kick start than it was before ??? If so, then I would start thinking about a top-end.

Yes the bike is just as hard to kick as it was before i will try draining and cleaning the tank and carb

also i cant seem to get the tank hose off the carb and suggestions?
