cannot kick start my 85 lt230s
I have hardly rode it due to work commitments this year .but the problem started last fall .It used to start [usually] the the second kick with the choke on,then it was four or five kicks and gradually more than ten kicks.now the only way too start it is towing until it fires up and runs perfectly. Any ideas?
I am away from home working right now ,so it will be a couple of weeks before I look at it again.The carb has been cleaned numerous times this year ,even had a friend clean it in case I happen to overlook something.I quickly help my son start it before leaving to work last weekend and now I see the choke lever has been broken off.[was on in early summer].
planning on buying a new carb for it now .new piston and rings 2 years ago and it does not smoke.Fuel flows freely into bowl.
Possible carb problem or am I not looking deep enough

I had to bend them to get the gauge in,as it was a very tight space.I found that I had no free play in the valves .Once I adjusted the valves I had a little freeplay and assumed that the adjustment was right .It started first kick
