when i got this bike i tore down the top end, only to find the piston in backwards and a very shoty base gasket .

after looking closely and picking alot of old gasket material out of the oil journals and transfer ports i reassembled with new base gasket. and it still wont so much as fire. I also cycled through the timing and not a sputter. does anyone know about what these should have for compression.

It should have 100 psi or better. Make sure the reeds are in good shape.

so 30 pounds wont work....?lol turns ot its ten thou undersize i was a little suspicious when the jug slid on so easily

Dont forget to open throttle wide when compression testing.
