any idea why? it's a 82 or 83 Kawasaki KLT 250, if bump started it will run and idle on it's own but for some reason it won't start with the starter? carb has been cleaned and i'm out of ideas why sucks cause this has no backup starter

Sounds like weak spark or low compression.
Install a new plug and see if that fixes it.
Does the starter turn over and it doesn't start or the starter doesn't work period?

its the valves, there just tight, had the same problem
starter works fine i'll try the spark plug first if that don't work how do i check the valves? never done that before
you need a feeler guage from napa and if you dont know how grab a clymer manual or a hanes, its got to be done on a regular basis on any 4 stroke. i bet you loosen the up to correct setting she starts right up.
alright i'll look into it and i did check the spark plug and its all black pretty bad
check the valves just for good measure also check the compression. low compression will cause the same symptom.

The world is broken up into two very different groups of people: there are those who like me, and those who can go to hell
well for some reason it gets gas to the carb but not the spark plug? found it dry after trying to start it for a good 10 mins
Did you adjust the valves yet?
the valves are too tight, your not getting fuel, that or your compression is low if you have spark
