Moderator Airhead Posted February 7, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2017 sounds like theres no compression...has it dropped a valve or snapped the cam chain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny5 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Valves are fine and chain is in one piece. Im thinking it may be something to do with stater clutch behind magneto magneto wheel. Quick question how th f**k do i get it off Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 What makes you think it is that?. Start simple, take your spark plug out and spin it over whilst holding it against the engine casing to see if it sparks correctly. If it's spinning over faster than normal that would indicate to me low compression... Ideally get a compression tester from a mate or local garage/ebay and test it properly. Check your float bowl is clean, there is a good flow of petrol coming out of the tap, any in line filters are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny5 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 The reason i think its thats the engine wouldnt turn ova at all no spark no movement what so eva just the starter spining ive striped most of the engine down now as i first thought cam chain had snapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
