I got a question. I own a 2016 KX 85. It ran amazing after it first bought it used. I was riding one day with a bogging issue and about 35 minutes of riding I shut it off to take a break. Came back 20 minutes later and it would not start.I changed the spark plug, cleaned out the carb,checked the reeds,and tried hill starting it but nothing .When ever I try to hill start it I can hear it trying to crank and It starts for like half a second but then dies.There is spark coming from the plug though.I took the cylinder off and the piston and cylinder are &%$#@!ed.The piston rings were stuck in the grooves and I had to use pliers and a screwdriver to get it out.There was a ton of blow-by and the cylinder was scored.I bought a new piston already but how can I fix my cylinder.Im thinking of getting it repaired and replayed by either millennium,PowerSeal USA, or usnicom.This is my first time owning a 2 stroke.Any answers or tips.

I am having an issue on a 2002 KDX 200 I am working on for a friend. Bike starts and runs great until I start moving the fuel around in the float bowl. I can do this by pumping the forks, lifting the rear wheel, or rolling and braking hard. When I do anyone of these things the bike floods and dies. I can keep it going with more throttle but it is so fat and burbly.... like the choke is on. I am certain that float level is affecting it but my issue is very strange: I adjusted float height to spec (16mm) and even went as far as taking the float out of my bike that is running great to see if that would fix it. It did not. Here is the strange part. If I lower the fuel level in the float bowl, by adjusting the float way out of spec, the bike runs better.. except under hard braking. If I turn the fuel off at the petcock the bike will run like crap.... then run pretty good.... then run perfect until it runs out of gas... It seems like the fuel is getting pulled up through a jet or through the choke..... It is definitely flooding out. I replaced the choke plunger in hopes that would fix it but no...... I have installed my needle valve to see if that was the problem... nope.... I have had the carb apart 4000 times and I cant see anything wrong. What could cause this?? Is something plugged and causing the fuel to get pulled in the wrong port? Is something broken internally on the carb body? I am at a total loss and this guy wants his bike back.... HELP!! With all respect... before anyone suggests it... This is not an electrical issue, or a clutch issue, or an idle adjustment. I have proven to myself the fuel is sloshing in the bowl and flooding the bike.... I just do not know how to fix it.... Surely I am not the only guy to run into this. Thanks in advance for any expert advice you can give.
