Hey guys. I purchased a T3 off of someone on these boards (won't name names) and plan on restoring it. I took it to Silver Lake last week and had a good time, although I should have bought stock in NGK as the crank seals are going bad and the plugs didn't last long...

My question is, as I was getting it rideable for the dunes, I looked at the engine number and it is a KX....not a KXT.... I used to race one of these back in 1986 when they were new, but I do not remember the engine numbers. Although I know they were basically the same motor as the KX250, I still thought the serial number said KXT and these motors were exclusive to the T3.

Does anyone have what the numbers should be, or can you tell me if your serial number is KX or KXT?

I think I got a T3 with a KX engine in it which is very disappointing since I have everything gathered to restore it.

Thanks for everyone's help!
