check your air box too, varmints like to build nests in there during winter.
this was in my klr air box this spring..... |

The bike starts first or second kick like normal every time but idles kinda ruff. When I give it some throttle it tries to rev up but just coughs and spits and sometimes back fires and sometimes quits. A few times it will rev high but you really got to play with the throttle to get it there and then it will hang there for a bit and then go back to idle. Do you think it would have any thing to do with the timing? Thanks guy's for all your suggestions, keep them coming.

Do you have an air leak in the intake? Possibly one of the gaskets is bad?

I thought that too when it wouldn't go back to idle after getting it to rev high. I sprayed all around the intake gasket with carb cleaner when bike was running and there was no difference in rpm. Maybe I should just get a new gasket and carb for what their worth.

It wouldn't hurt to have another carb for troubleshooting; they're cheap enough.
It sounds like a fuel problem. I doubt that it's a timing issue, since it ran when you parked it for the winter. A new CDI is also a good idea for troubleshooting.

I think its a carb/fuel problem too. A spare CDI will not hurt. Do you have another bike with a similar CDI on it that you can try?

Thanks guy's. I tried the cdi off his brothers bike, a gio 250 exact same cdi and it made no difference. Getting another carb to try and will let you's know in a week or two.

Well I got a new carb today, exactly the same as the old one, kf pz27 and it still runs the same. Starts right up 1st or 2nd kick. It will idle but it is not a smooth idle. It will only rev up if you really play with the throttle. Anymore new suggestions? Thanks.

I'm starting to wonder if the magnetic pickup is out of position. Have you removed the stator cover for a look?

Took cover off everything looks okay, going to take stator off and have a look. Also, can anyone tell me what the valve clearances should be for this bike? 2012 gio x33 140cc

I checked google and some specs for the KLX 140 came up. They are intake-.002-.003 and exhaust-.004-.006. Yours look to be set to the high of the intake and low of the exhaust. They are in spec. IF the kawi specs are the same as yours.

Those specs will certainly be in the ballpark.
