Do a leak dow test and compression test on the KX engine.
They are a very easy to start engine... if you cant fire it up its an ignition, fuel or air issue.

I knew what you meant, how are things progressing? What kind of setup will you do for the cooling or was the machine air cooled in those days? Also, why the swap if you are just trying to start the motor it sounds like there are a lot easier things to do to get that bad boy fired up?
