Kips governor shaft lever
I unfortunately unscrewed the lever (a)
My question:
How does one put this back in its position (is it aligned with the rear e-clip? ) ?
-1991 KDX250SR (japan mod).

Re: Kips governor shaft lever
Yes, thanks! That's the way I fitted it now.
Got some new spark plugs today. Will test ride later to see if it runs on high rpms.

Re: Kips governor shaft lever
Works fine now
The main issue was that the engine did not get enough air supply- would not rev on high rpms- so took of the air box lid (with snorkel) and now it runs like a mean machine on gazoline
mj 128
pj 42
needle 3. pos
original muffler and carb (pwk35)

A 128 main jet, in a Keihin PWK carb, on a KDX250? If so, you're going to melt the piston in it.

Re: Kips governor shaft lever
I thought the OEM carb on the SR was a 28mm. That small a MJ on a PWK35 and you're going to have issues with longevity as SS109 said.

Re: Kips governor shaft lever
Yes I know mj 128 is lean (with no lid on the airbox), but it's stock size along with #42 pj.
The carb is 35mm pwk. It's not a KDX250 (US version, which has a 38mm and different jetting and piston etc).

Re: Kips governor shaft lever
Congratulations on getting it sorted. When jetting, the consequences of too rich is far less penalizing than too lean. Start rich and work down. :-)
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net.

Re: Kips governor shaft lever
Thanks, yes I agree - Better off starting too rich than lean
I think I'll just need to drop the needle from 4th
to 3rd or 2nd clip position. Way too rich in the low and mid range, but really pulls on wot
