Ok i got the kx 80 running but it goes threw plugs like there nothing, i rode rround the block twice today and the plug was wet fouled. the damn thing wont turn over now even after i tokk the plug out and let it sit for an hour, but when i put a new plug it it rns great for a few minutes then it wet fooled agian, im runing 32:1 premix thats what the dealer said it needs some i know thats right, could i be breaking the plugs with the wrong heat range?

Pull the carb off and check it out. Clean it good and then try it.

clean the carb out and runnin it a lil leaner, try 40:1 if that dont work you need to rejet it

yup clean the carb, and run 50 or 40:1 if that doesnt help then u need to down size a main jet

keep it revved up

my 125 went through 2 plugs in 4 days but i cleaned them up with sand paper,wire brush,and soaking them in gas.use the clutch when you feel it start to lose some power and just rev it way up
try keeping it in a lower gear instead of high gear low revs.try just high revs low gear.all 2 stroke racing bikes like them are supposed to stay revved up

check your jetting if its wet fouling...

Don't mix your gas at anything other than 32:1. Going "leaner" with the oil really has no effect on fouling plugs.

You obviously need to rejet. If it is fouling plugs, it is jetted too rich. Start by dropping the pilot a size or 2, then do a jetting test once you have it running to determine the correct needle/main settings.
