For sure lol. I took the impact wrench and tightened up the flywheel. It sucked in a good 1/4 inch.....oh lookey here, I have spark now lol.
Got spark, pulled the carb and it was pretty clean I blew threw it with the air compressor. Kicked it a few times and nothing. I think it has low compression, I'm going to push start it tomorrow. If that works I'll see how it runs after that. I have a feeling it needs a top end. Maybe I'll just sell the bike if so. My compression tester was leaking so I'm not going to even try to go off of that
I'll try and get a good comp read. It seems easy to kick over, I don't have anything to compare to though. I'll kick it a few times and check the plug.
I have spark, and I have fuel, I think I'm missing compression. Should I pull the top end?
I thought you were going to part it out?
That was the plan. Figured I would give a shot to fix it and see if it runs decent enough to sell it. I just fixed the leak in my comp tester. I have 63 PSI of compression, I'll sell it in need of a top end or just buy a $100 Namura top end if the cylinder checks out.
So I did some thinking, if I have 60 psi it's not just worn rings I don't think? There must be a big gouge or something right?
