Instead of sanding it down I simply wrapped that whole area well with tape and it didn't make a difference at all. I can't even get a backfire. I also double checked my valves today.
Okay another update, I did the compression check and two different times kicking it got a reading around 180 psi. Also I did the timing test by using a screw driver in the spark plug hole, according to my measurements it is dead on.
Thank you for the reply once again headsmess I am waiting for my compression checker, which should be here today then I'm going to get right back at it. I will check in once again tonight or tomorrow.
Okay thank you, I believe I understand the piston stop idea. Would it be possible for me to just buy a bolt with the threads the same as the spark plug? Also do I take out my IRK for all of this? One last thing, approximately how long should my "piston stop" be?
I will loosen my clutch lever...
anyone else have ideas as to why it won't start? I attempted to adjust the clutch plates but if I turned it just a little either way it completely slipped and I couldn't turn it over. I just ordered a compression tester as well.
I added a carb spacer from another bike and still no luck. As far as the timing I can't check the crank timing because I can't see any mark. I assume because of the inner rotor. I dont have any service holes to view crank TDC. Also I saw the access hole get clutch adjustment. Which way would I...
As far as the gasket, there is a round gasket and the end of my carb, no spacer though. I will check the timing here in a few hours. I wasn't aware of the mark in the rear since I have the inner rotor setup I thought I would have to take that off but I guess not. As far as taking off the...
Thank you for the quick replies. I have cleaned the carb thoroughly twice just to be sure, my spark plug is new but I am not sure if it is gapped properly? Also sometimes when spraying it with starting fluid I will get a lot of fluid blowing back on my leg. When I do kick it over without a...

Also will this work for checking compression? I'm not sure of the plug thread size.
I am working on this pit bike I purchased the other day for $120 and it has me stumped, I am getting spark, using starting fluid for initial start up with no fuel hooked up to the carb, I adjusted the valves, and when I plug the spark plug whole with my finger it feels to have good compression...
I don't have an air compressor but I was sure to clean everything with carb cleaner and run a bristle from a broom through each jet. I also checked to make sure the needle seated well by manually blowing through and moving the float.
I cleaned the carb yesterday and found out the pilot jet was clogged. When putting it back together and hooking up gas I did notice some leaking fuel. I don't think that could be too much of a factor because I was using "carb cleaner" to spray into the carb to get it started. Carb cleaner is...
Thanks for your reply.
I do have a decent blue spark when kicking it over and are you saying this motor looks like a Ducar 125? My most concerning thing is just to get the bike to start first, then worry about the kick starting issue. I went over the wiring harness and made sure to ground the...
