I bought a 07 klx 110 it would run for a min and die, I cleaned the tank put fresh gas In it cleaned the carb. Now it will crank and run but not for long it craks more with the choke in then off. And the exhaust turns cherry red coming out of the head when it runs for a min. Any help is much appreciated thanks
 
Take a few fine strands from a copper wire and clean out your jets. See if that helps the issue. Check for leaky Intake manifold as well.

Jet Cleaning Tool
  • Priceless item to clean carb jets and small holes
  • Compact enough to keep in your toolbox
  • Ten pin sizes to clean most common jet sizes
 
[h=1]Engine and Carb quick check list - TBolt USA Tech Database![/h]
Install Intake manifold to head and carb, oil gaskets and tighten bolts lightly at first then torque then down gradually in a cross pattern to provide a good seal and avoid air leaks

1)Throttle cable adjustment check:
a)Carb slide MUST hit bottom
b)Test it , You MUST hear the sound of the slide hitting the bottom of the carb
c)You must have free play or slack in the throttle cable
d)You must be able to turn the throttle a small amount WITHOUT moving the carb slide

2)Make sure the carb is 100% clean, free of debris and you can see light thru both main and pilot jets
You must start with a known good and properly oiled air filter

3)Double check you valve tappet adjustment .003intake and .004exh.

4)Make sure your exhaust gasket is installed properly.

5)Make sure you have a good intake to head and intake to carb seal and NO intake leaks

6)Make sure all electrical connections are tight and you have a solid ground from the engine to the frame.
and make sure you have spark


7)Check for good fuel flow and fresh fuel.

8)See our jetting guide and do a plug read.

Thanks that's really helpful! How much for the cleaners?
 
Could be a vacuum leak too

Check that the “O” rings between the carb and intake are there and good aswell as the one between the intake and the head. Also check the little rubber boot that’s on the side of the intake that it’s on there and not cracked or broken. I always plug the hole on the side intake with jb weld or something so the little boot isn’t needed.
