Well heres a interesting dilemma, just got my kxt 250 running, was sitting there idling when it revved right out by its self, to the point the kill switch wouldn't shut it off! Had to pull the pug lead....wow... what could cause this? Any idea's?

Hi and welcome.
Try the search key with the words
"death rev"
Apparently 2 strokes can run like that without spark
or kill switch doesn't kill it.
Most opt for stalling them in gear.
All I have 2 stroke is a chainsaw but there should be every answer to all your questions on here.

Could be an air leak causing it to run lean.
May need to be leak tested.

my 93 Polaris trail boss 250 was doing that right after I rebuilt the motor one crank seal must have got damaged when I put it together changed both seals helped a bunch but then would take a long time to return to idle found trash in pilot jet now it runs great

When 2 strokes start starving for fuel they rev wayyyy up. If it was "dieseling" from being hot (don't sound like yours was) pulling spark plug lead would have no affect. Had it happen on a Polaris scrambler at TrikeFest a few years back, had to shut fuel off and let run out of gas.
Or, air leak as suggested.

When it happened to me it was a leaking crank seal.

it is definitely a lean condition somewhere, time to tear into your fuel delivery and all your seals to find the problems. I would do a leak down test on it as well.
rectum nothin damn near killed them
feel free to leave feed back for me here. http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...06#post1119306

If you're not sure how to do a leak down test, check out the video below. It also shows cheap tools you can buy to do it with.
You obviously need to remove the flywheel and clutch cover to check the crank seals.
If you take the parts off, a shop might do it for around $60.00.

Clogged pilot jet can do that, open the throttle wfo or flip the choke up it will die right away. Clean that carb and go buy an inline fuel filter! I had my 500r do it at trikefest 2013 and once more at the badlands. Give it full throttle it will die.

Oh, you mean like the old gas powered airplanes?Originally Posted by jeswinehart
.o49 little engines with a glow plug?
Battery to glow plug, get it started and it would run without glowplug and you knew when it was running out of gas because it would roughly double in rpm's for 10-20 seconds before it ran all the way out of fuel.
Might that be considered a 2 stroke diesel type of definition?

I wonder why I've never experienced this with any of my chainsaws.
and I've had saws in almost every state of condition and for decades.
...just trying to understand

If you get them hot enough,,,, just below the seizing temp,,, you will experience it.
