Hey, if there is anyone with experience with these bikes i need help, i have a 78 dt400e street legal 2 stroke enduro that died on me while i was riding it on the road. The bike would not restart when kicked over. Started first kick that day, compression seems ok, plenty of oil, the battery, lights and electrical seem to work fine but the bike will not turn over. The plug is usually a pancake color and runs great, when i took the plug out it was dark and fouled which is a bit unusual. Now it will just not start or turn over when kicked. Yes it has gas and spark i cant figure out what is not working. i ride this bike around and its never really given me a problem in the 2 or so months i have owned it. i will run a compresion test on it 2morrow.
