2 xt 600 es

the original is a uk model and I bought an unregistered one from europe with air forks and comes back as 660 frame.

The one with airforks blew seal in side of head and then blew gaskets got repaired then it blew base gaskets after both head gaskets being replaced an ideas what is wrong

they have both had jet kits installed

the original xt 600 e will not start unless I lean to the right and idles rough and misfires at low rpm and stalls could it be regulator or air cut off valve this is what I'm looking to replace

can upload a few pics to help

No 2 sounds like improper float height.

If it's blowing gaskets, then the first thing to check would be the crankcase breather for blockage.
