broken hose clamp to the carb, not in terrible shape but bot in great shape. i could probably run it but for the price ill send it out and have peice of mind.

shipping it out this morning.

if all goes well i should get it back 2 days before the 1st race of the year. if not the mighty KX will be getting atleast 1 more under her belt.

looked tonight.

lookks like i had some piston slap going on. the exhaust side of the slirt had marks where it was rubbing on the ports. hmmmmm.

also the spark plug looked like it was melting itself?!?!?!?!?!?! and middle of the top of the piston was getting awful hot. plug was still a dark brown color.

what would cause this?
