Hello all, looking for some further insight on here on what exactly I should be looking to fix on my bike. All woods riding here in Ohio and love my 2 stroke. Lots of money invested to be where i am at. So problem is as follows, blowing through plugs like a mother, on kick start have a loud proofing noise every so often but doesn’t seem to want to let fuel through carb, even with a fresh plug it’s not normal. Bump started it yesterday and ran with ZERO bottom end (bike felt dead). I have never had an issue starting the bike before. Could this be carb related or worse engine. And also would it be worth buying an ALL BALLS carb rebuild kit or sending to a shop and paying for it that way. Any tips or similar problems would be most grateful. Have a trip up north in MI coming up for Memorial Day weekend and would like to mix gas and kick ass. Thank you for your time.
The Shop
The money spent on a pro mechanic is money well spent!
Is it easier to kick thru the kickstart? Like no compression.
A oil side seal usually smokes a lot.
Buy you a compression gauge say at sears.
Put the spark plug back in boot and lay on head so coil doesn't overload. Hold throttle open and kick till gauge stops rising. You should be over 150 psi.
If it is a 100 psi you need to tear down see what is wrong.
Once it is good again check compression periodically to see how the engine is living then you know when to rebuild.
