Go to the link I just posted in "links" and do exactly as it says, except on my 1995 KTM 620 I kick through about 8-10 kicks with decom lever pulled in, then find tdc (see the link) then give it a BIG kick. If you've got an edelbrock carburetor, I hear those are VERY tough to get to run well. For more info, go to ktmtalk.com and advrider.com. Here's a link to advrider.com KTM 640/lc4 threads

  • lots of good 620 info here.

Maybe the pilot jet is clogged or you need to change pilot jet size. It sounds like it may be a fuel/ air delivery problem. Air filter clean? Filter over oiled and causing rich? Another thing though, don't overlook the electrical side. It may run great once started but I would check the spark while trying to kick it over. You may have a coil getting weak.
