Hi croz " you say make it turn over, do you meen its not turning,? [ ie. siezed] or no compression [ ie. turns over too easily] ?

It turns over too easily. I kick it to start it bit there feels like there is no compression. How could that happen from just sitting in the garage for a week?

Hi

Having problems starting the bike. It was working fine till one day I tried starting it and the kick starter goes down really easy and not enough to make the bike turn over. Any ideas?

Ha. Same happened to me with my '77 dt400. The needle in the carb had holes corroded into it letting extra gas into the engine. Sprayed it with paint which sealed the holes. Has been perfect since!
