    Default Engine just stalled

    hay guys

    i just bought a kx 125 94.

    I bought it in pieces, cause the engine was rebuilt, so i had to drop the engine in myself which wasnt too hard. Connect a few wires, hook up the hoses top up the fluids, and gave it about 4 - 5 kicks and she fired up.

    Had to run it in, so went through a tank of fuel alright no problems.

    When i went for my second ride, started it up.. let it warm up, went over a few woops turned around, came down the road, from first to fifth, the engine stalled at about wat felt like 80+ km/hr. So i pulled the clutch in bumped started it ran for a few seconds cut out, and went for a second go few seconds cut out. Pulled over tryed kick starting no go. Didnt even sound like it wanted to start. Then i got a mate to pull me behind the car again to try n bump start it. ran for a few seconds then splutterd to a stall again.

    Anyone have any ideas why it wont run, and why it doesnt even come anywhere close to starting while kick starting it, to why it splutters a bit when i bump start :S confused help?

    sorry for the long story HELP ??

    Have you made sure the plug is getting fire? You might take the cover off the magneto side and make sure the magneto and ignition timing are ok...are you running it with a good air filter? I would take the carb off and check float level and make sure the jets aren't clogged
