It's still worth saving. Keep going. !

I think it just needed to be run. After running all that bad gas with too much oil for 20 seconds at a time, it was loaded up. Take it out for 20 minutes and run it hard. Mix up some fresh gas with a good clean burning synthetic oil, and see if it clears out. That crankcase has sat for who knows how many years with old oil in it. The crank seal is probably fine, but could be seeping from being loaded up. Also, you should be able to tell from the smell if the smoke is from crankcase oil or running too rich (after running it long enough to burn out any residual seepage or assembly oil). Gear oil has a completely different smell from 2 stroke oil.

at the end he shows that the crank bearing has play so that as well as the leaky seals need replacing. the crankcase is not full of oil like a 4 stroke. the oil in the flywheel housing is oil and fuel; there's a serious leak when the engine is running for there to be that much residue.

it definitely could have been the problem, i had the same problem on my 89 kx80 and i ended up changing all the gaskets for practice working on my engine, ended up fixing the problem for me

There are times when you might seem like an amateur mechanic but you always seem like a professional You tuber and your wife is the best camera girl ever.

Woke this morning had the notification of the new up load and made my day, kept in the bank till after work and must say well worth the wait. Love this channel.

Love you videos, I go back and watch them over and over.

Hey Jake, just wanted to let you know I had your videos playing in the background while I was replacing the main system board of a Lenovo all-in-one PC. Your positive attitude while troubleshooting and working helped keep me in the right mindset while I worked!

Don’t get discouraged, can’t wait to see this thing run once you tear into it. Honestly the engine tear downs are my favorite part of this channel. Keep up the great content!

I enjoy your videos you make me want a dirt bike so bad...but thanks to you when I get one it will be maintained perfectly with all kinds of nice parts on it . Thank you for your time and each and every video you produce....saving up for my first dirt bike and have been for a while.keep up the good work

You have a way to make the most mundane things seem so interesting. You would make a great teacher.

You guys literally make the most useful videos and they’re so entertaining

I love your back and forth banter! It would be cool to swap the triple clamps and upside-down forks from the parts bike too! And the bars!

Your videos are honestly really fun to watch ! Keep it up! 🤘🏼

Very, very educational! Learned how to diagnose and repair a dirt bike in 15 minutes, awesome

I am so glad you bought this and that generac generator. The later is when I found your awesome channel, and they both meant more videos.

The only bad experiences are the one's we don't learn from... LOVE the vids and running commentary!

Hey ! I am glad I could watch this again before tearing into my bike .

Loving all these videos lately. I really hope to see more projects soon :)

Was happy when I woke up to c u guys put up a new video

Keep that chin up! We all love seeing the progression and process. Welcome to the wonderful world of 2stroke dirtbikes! My Kawasaki had the same exact problem when I got it. Ended up doing a complete rebuild. But keep in mind that even after the rebuild, the bike will run cold and rich for a bit and smoke a decent amount till you ride it and get some heat in it. You can see my 2 videos on my channel for proof.

I love these videos, seriously excited when the bell goes off.

You don't have to split the engine cases to change a right-side crank seal! if you take off the right side cover, the clutch basket and primary drive gear, you can sometimes drill and thread a wood screw into the seal and pull it out with a slide-hammer. Changed one on my Cr250, no problem.

Ryan Moore I live for slick little tricks like that. My buddy bought some nylon shifter bushings, and the kit came with installation instructions. It said to basically halfway drop the transmission so that you could remove the part which contains the bushing and press it out. That seemed like a big pain in the ass, so I got underneath it and looked. I ended up taking my pocket knife and sawing the shoulder off of the stock rubber bushing on one side, at which point I could just poke it out with my finger. The new nylon bushings were two piece, so they slipped in from opposite sides no problem. Turned an afternoon project into a 20 minute project.

Nevir202 I'm a auto mechanic, and back in the 90's gm had the iron duke, a 2.5 four cylinder pushrod overhead valve engine that gm used in EVERYTHING. Instead of using a timing chain, it used a fibre timing gear that was pressed onto the camshaft. The recommended repair procedure was to remove the engine, remove the balancer and front timing cover, remove the valve cover and loosen the rocker arms, remove the lifter side cover and remove the pushrods and lifters, then remove the cam and remove and replace the cam gear using a arbor press. The whole job was listed at 19 hours flat rate. Me and my buddy in the private shop we worked at devised a easier way. Jack the passenger side of the car up, remove tire and inner fender liner. Remove the passenger side cradle bolts and lower engine and subframe to gain access to timing cover. Remove belts, balancer and timing cover. The center hub of the gear is aluminum, using a drill, drill small holes thru fibre sprocket and aluminum hub as close to cam as possible. Using chisel or air hammer, crack hub apart from cam and remove. Center of cam is hollow, take a fine thread tap and cut threads into inner shaft of cam as far as possible. Using long bolt that fits threaded hole and thick washer, coat new gear hub with oil and press onto cam using bolt. Install new cover gasket and seal onto timing cover and install it, reinstall balancer and belts, put subframe back up, replace inner fender and tire, and done. Total time? About four hours, give or take.

All these are reasons why you used to hang onto a private mechanic before they started making everything to where you had to go straight to dealer for everything, then pay more for parts, labor, time, etc.

Keep these coming! Your wife is a great drive for you. You can have this thing brand new in no time!

Been watching from 🇬🇧 interesting and looking forward to see it running properly. Keep uploading 👍🏻

Stumbled upon your videos today. I really enjoy them, you and your wife make for good entertainment and it's educational.Nothing like wrenching on things, I love it. As far as the swap before checking? It happens to the best of us. Putting the cart before the horse so to speak. Just think of it as practice Lol

Ya'll are hellarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful couple. I learn alot from your humor and videos!

Love your videos and I have never clicked so fast in my life!

You guys are awesome...best on KZread. Keep up the team work.

He who dares wins ,you are the man with the magic hands ,the phoenix that will rise from the cloud of 2 stroke smoke ,you will make it shine and it will see tarmac once again ,cant wait to see you guys out for a family bike ride be awesome keep up the great work no matter how frustrating :)

Just watched a few of your vids, looking to get into fixing up used bikes myself. You have my sub! Well done on the video you and your wife are awesome!

Awesome vid guys. Sorry to see you go to all the struggle with these old KDX's, but at least now we know what all it needs. Time to go trade that turkey for a rebuild kit. Go ahead and do the whole top and bottom rebuild so you won't regret it later. Wait no don't do that, you must remain with doing as little as it takes, that's the goal of these videos and why we keep coming back to watch more.

I really enjoy watching you and your family..thanks

You guys are taking up allot of my time I just subbed today and I’m on the 5th video

I love watching your videos.... can't wait to hear that bike purring :)

Keep making content! I thoroughly enjoy this "real" life scenario and how you attack the problem. Like any technician, you hope to fix the issue with one attempt but reality is much more painful....

Your wife is a hoot ! Love watching your videos and the look on your face when she doesn't mince her words 😂 keep up the great work 👍😉

Definitely fun to watch and always educational as well. Thanks Jacob!

This is comedy gold! About fell out of my chair three times and I'm not past 10 minutes in. More Executive Producer Jennie!!!

I kinda love this guy i mean his sense of humor und methods to test the engine is brilliant! :D Good job dude keep on :)

It’s always a good day when you upload!

Always happy to see a new video.

Enjoy the vids and great banter. Keep up the good work.

It's gonna be a epic street -trail bike once you get the bugs worked out..great video guys!!

Love the banter between you two!

You're a skilled and sharp guy. Yall keep it up

I love that you can take these setbacks so well so that we don't have to.

Love the videos, keep it up! I'm enjoying learning about these tricks to diagnose. I hope to tear apart my 78 yamaha 250 enduro to replace the seals as well, I've had the same trouble as this bike and it has been a back burner project for ... way longer than I want to admit.

First, you learn the 10 ways not to fix it, then you arrive at the good solution, what a greater knowledge you have. That's why you are with Jennie.

Fantastic video's, love em!

Awesome videos As always...keep going!

They deserve more attention. This is by far my favourite KZread channel in existence. You need to make 30m long videos!

If your real life mistakes mean that we are going to get more videos, then keep messing up =) I really enjoy your videos, I'm so glad I've discovered your channel!

You're going through what I'm going through. A love for old 2 strokes and then the realization that unless it's running great, and even if it is, it probably needs to be rebuilt. And not just piston and rings damn seals and main bearings. Then heaven forbid your rod needle bearing is toast cause some of the old air cooled ones they don't even make cranks for anymore! Anyways, can't get enough of your channel!

this was made 3 years ago, it's still super fun to watch the videos.. :D

i'm a professional and qualified automotive mechanic--i have always had motorcycles, but only recently obtained a 1990 rm 250---it dows EXACTLY this but still has incredible power-- youve saved me alot of time trouble shooting,--my case may be worst case,but at least i know where to start before i get to those pesky transmission oil seals--thanks folks. :)

Wow that vacuum trick! I learn so much new things. Thanks!

Hope you had a good thanksgiving, this project will be worth it in the end as we all know!

Thanks for being real people. Show us we aren't the only people on earth that learns through our questionable decisions, and grows from them. I really enjoy watching you and your wife have a life. May God ess and keep you.

Put the inverted forks of the parts bike onto the other one

No pain no gain !!! Looking forward to next episode

Shit happens man, it's nice to see it's not all rainbows and sunshine each time. But we are still learning and developing which is awesome! Thanks to you two for the videos.

Your still an awesome mechanic, love the video, thanks!!!

great video! cant wait for the next one.

I'm not a mechanic type guy but damn I enjoy watching your work.

I love watching your videos and I really like the dirtbike videos I got started on the generator video

Glad you're going to split the cases. I will mention that there are 2 other things to change as well, make sure the mix is closer to factory spec so you don't foil the plug, and let the bike come up to temp before you rev it. None of my 2 strokes have ever reved on cold start but once they are at temp the revvvvv

I’m just glad I’m not the only one that makes these mistakes... keep on keeping on

All of KZread, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and on and on, and I still come here in the evening.

Can't wait for the result JG..Blessings.

You and your wife crack me up, never stop teaching me!

About time someone got you in line!!!! :)

Awesome vids man a lot of good useful info

I love your videos!, you guys make a great team :D

Never really got into 2 strokers but i'm starting to have a thing for the kdx.. Keep up the good work!👍

Good video, very informative, even with the bad outcome. Sorry for your luck!

hope everythings OK. really enjoy/miss your videos!

On a positive note, can't wait to watch you split the cases! Lol. Never done it yet so it'll be nice to see someone whose not a "pro", at least I think not, do it themself. Ill be watching. Keep up the wrench turning content love seeing regular guys do shit their selves woo!

Love both u guys! :D Amazing channel

“Is this table sagging, or is it just you?” Got me crying 😂

jake buddy we are here to watch amateur that's a big chunk of the appeal. loving the addition of the mrs to the videos more regularly.

Progress! Love the videos!

Use self tapping screws into the seals to pull them out without splitting the cases. Also the exhaust and silencer packing will be saturated in oil so will still smoke bad untill it’s all burnt off or cleaned. Keep up the good work, love watching ur videos!!

oh the dilemma. I like to see a new video from you.. so I want to like. But the bike doesn't run and I don't want anyone to think I like that. But you did an engine swap which I like. But that didn't work either which I don't like. But it ran... I like to see running motors. But it ran like garbage which is sad. So I have no idea if I should like the video or not. frick it... *Slams Like Button

Thank you so much for this video because I notesed when I change my oil on my 2001 Suzuki rm 125 less oil came out then I put in but I didnt know if this was normal and I don't have the $300 for a professional to look at so you saved me money thank you

Hey, great video, mistakes and setbacks add drama and tension for the audience and make the final success all the sweeter! If your projects always went perfectly smoothly you'd look fake! Also, great to see and hear both of you again in this one.

Back basics a lot of bike shops would charge a fortune and losing the art of mechanical repairs we live in a throw away society good to ur taking up all these challenges plus ur wife’s comments are so funny

Your far from a amateur man. You teach me so many odd ball ways to get things done. Your just like the rest of us. Hopeful that something small will fix a big problem.

Hey what's up bro, keep up the good job

I have a 1990 Kx250, it smokes like a forest fire till it warms up. Stock 2-stroke mix ratio I believe is 32:1, for a while I was running 40:1, but i thought that was a little lean, so I split the difference now & run 36:1, I also run a race plug NGK B9EGV. The hotter it runs the better it runs. Anyway keep up the Great Videos.

thank you for this channel !!! AMAZING content !!

I'm not trying to be a smart alec here and this video is years old so I'm sure you've fixed this looong ago. But I wonder how the fuel oil mixture is? I'm sure he's not gotten it wrong but I'd start at the source. Man Jennie (I assume that's your wife's name) is just awesome! You guys are a great team and make for fun watching. You are blessed sir!

You doing great. Keep er going!

great video, well edited.

Keep up the good work very inspiring videos. Always look forward to your antics and positive attitude even when most people wives would have demanded you give up and take a shower, JK! Reminds me of when I was single and had time to tinker. Best subscription on KZread for sure, Can't wait to see the next video.

Whether it works right or it doesn't, I love watching your vids. And I'm not a motorhead.

Good job and great attitude 👍
