My oil dipstick is not in the same position as the Lifan 125 I see in google images. Also a Honda sidecover fits if that helps.

Where do I go to order parts for my motor? I am not even sure what it is.

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...

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...

I added more photos of 3 more bikes. Anyone have any ideas on them?

I guess the just of it is that it will kick it over just fine but once in awhile when I go kick it over the kicker will turn and feel like it's stripping something almost. Kind of like the same sensation when you round off a bolt. The crank will not move when this occurrence happens. I guess...

Thank you for the reply, the symptom of it not turning the crank and still having the kickstart rotate is not related to any other thing because it only happens about 1 out of 5 times. The whole time I have been trying to start it I have been trying so in neutral.

I have a few bikes and I know most are just typical chinese bikes but I would like to share them with you guys and hopefully get a little more info about them. This first one I will share with you I was told is a Pitster Pro but I am not sure. It has a Mikuni carb and the "cc" stamp is...
