hi, i have just been given a yamaha rsx100 1989-90 2-stroke, i have put petrol in it, it has oil in it and i have a spark from plug when kick starting but it wont start, anyone have a qlue what could be wrong?

and another thing, would the battery being goosed stop it from starting even when its a kick start?

any help would be great.

Hi mate i have one of these myself and they can be fussy little buggers,sometimes its first kick other times its lots,if you have a spark are you sure the fuel is getting to the chamber?kick it a few times with the choke out and then check the plug which should be wet.the battery being dead wont stop it from firing but when you kick it over the oil and neutral light should come on.if it has been lying like mine was i cleaned the carb out and have had no problems since.

cheers
