I have a kawasaki kx85 2002 The carborator is getting to much fuel and wont start but when I put fuel directly where the spark plug is in the engine it's self ad I kick it over and it starts ur won't keep running !!! What should I work on or check ???

Is there a good blue spark at the plug? Plugs will blacken up but its how black and if wet or dry. If you have a gunsons screw in spark viewer check to see if a nice blue can be seen. If not, tweaking the carb / air mix can be done by ear!

you have water in your fuellines and motor u need to change oil and drain fueloutof tank and try it with new fuel.

You need to take the carburetors apart and clean the thorough, put a new fuel filter, fresh fuel, full charge the battery and use a new spark plug. Most likely it will start.What model is this 2001 Kawasaki 250 exactly?

You probably have bad fuel injectors.

Good Luck!

DO you have spark?? To check for spark pull spark plug out. With the spark plug connected lay the spark plug on the block of the engine( something metal) and try to start the engine.waych for aspark as the engie is turning over. Does it spark?? If not check the safty switches - Break petal, seat,blade engagemment switch. Also check the coil/magneto.(without the right tester for goil ) you will have to replace the goil. A little pricey. If you have spsrk, the problem is in the fuel system. Is there gas in the tank? Does the tractor have a fuel shut off in the gass line? Is it open?

Close the fuel shut off valve or crimp the fuel line with vice grips or some type of locking plyers. Remove the carborator bowel. Is there gas in it? Yes, Carborator needs cleaning. No, open the fuel line and see if fuel flows out of line. If not check and see if obstruction on line or tank.

Most importantly is the spark/ ignition system. mainly the safty switches and the coil/magneto. If any ofthe safties are open you will not get ANY spark. If the switches are working correctly I suspect it will be the the coil.

if the dog tore and bit thru the wires you will not get any spark to you plugs this would cause a no start.

I would pull the plugs and let the gas into the cylinders to dry out , you may have a hydrolock engine after putting so much gas into it , recheck the firing order to be sure is OK ususlly when you see a carb backfiring and smoking the firing order is not right

it may be flooding out that is why it wont start try to shut the fuel off and try to see if it will try to start if not try taking the spark plug out and putting a little bit a very little bit of gas in the plug hole and then put the plug back in it and try to start it

try putting a squirt of gas directly into the carborator and crank it to see if it tries to start, or may run for a second then quit. If so, the float is probably stuck shut.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, would suggest:

• a thorough cleanup job on the carbs;
• inspect, clean the rubber couplings from carbs to intake manifold;
• inspect tighten coupling clamps;
• ensure no vacuum leak when re-assembling;
• inspect, check, ensure air intake box seating to the carbs. Very important, there should be no air leak. All air must pass through the cleaner/filter;
• check/clean tank, including fuel valve control and built-in fuel filter;
• use PRIM instead of ON on the fuel valve control.

And the "carborator sleeves" will only slide up when there is sufficient vacuum (engine running) and the throttle is turned.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.
