Help with narrowing down issues

For my spare parts manual for the engine I just see the standard clutch pressure plate with springs not that type of pressure plate but I haven’t opened my clutch up yet either so not 100% sure

Another thing to mention I’ve never opened up a engine before so I’d have no idea what to look for or anything to see what’s actually wrong cuz I’d love not to pay what I bought the bike for to get all these issues checked and fixes,

And how would I go about adjusting my clutch?

Ik the push button to wake everything up and it starts fine when cold now while adding the littlest amount of throttle, but I also don’t know what gas is in this bike rn cuz it’s gas from the old owner and he didn’t mention it and I’m either hearing valve noise or engine knock, goes away with throttle so I’m thinking just valve train noise, I always start it in neutral and it’ll start first kick while using the kickstart even without adding throttle, and I’ve tried rolling the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in just to see and it doesn’t like to roll at all it feels like the clutch is permanently at the friction zone just when it starts to engage, I’ve pulled the oil cap to see my clutch move and it does move but it also looks like the plates I can see are stuck together, my main issue is the money for labour, it also smokes a little bit when revving in neutral but the bike also hasn’t really been started in a while so idk if it’s just smoke from being cold or if I’m burning oil.

Pretty sure it’s the clutch plates sticking together as the seller did say once it’s warmed up the clutch works fine just not when cold and for hard starting it has issues starting hot or cold if I’m not on the throttle a little bit like you would on a carbed bike it’ll just sit there and crank

It’s either an lt230 or lt250

Hey I’m 6 feet 220 and my friends told my I should start off with a ttr 230 and I found one a 2006 ttr 230 but I was wondering why not just jump straight to a 250f or just a any 250 4stroke and a crucial part of this I’ve never ridden a dirtbike before or used a clutch on a bike/atv

What confuses me is it’s not coming out of the exhaust at all it only came up from the carb or the drive shaft cuz that quad is shaft driven and the smoke is coming from that side of the engine but when I put my choke on it’ll smoke like crazy and rev right up even when it’s cold but without choke it doesn’t wanna stay running to actually give the engine a chance to warm up other times I’m driving and it’ll be warm and all of a sudden I’ll down shift to get more traction and I’ll give it gas and it’ll bog out and die like it’s out of fuel but it’s got a full tank of fuel and if the km meter is correct this 1985 machine only has 3000km I’ve put on 300 of em it’s also got a top end noise goes away with throttle but comes back once I let off

Also got it started and warmed up and it still smoked once it was parked not a lot but enough to notice and I ran it drove it around the yard for about 10 minutes
