That will not hurt the motor. I believe compression should be around 80 - 100 psi once broke in.
Hi from whowhere, Ontario, Canada
- Thread starter whowhere
- Start date
That will not hurt the motor. I believe compression should be around 80 - 100 psi once broke in.
I am in the Barrie, area. A little far from Niagara Falls (Even by Car
). As for the police, they don't seem to concerned with ATV's and snowmobiles tearing up the streets in Barrie, so I can't see them interested in a bicycle which happens to have a motor.I am reading 80 psi. I am getting a spark when the plug is grounded to the cyclinder. So, It has to be the carburator. I think the adjustments on the carburator are all out of wak. I may be getting to much gas because gas is dripping out the exhaust.

So your worried you aren't getting fuel.
The throttle cable adjusts a needle in the carb.
try making the cable tighter. adjust it counter clockwise a little to lift that needle a bit. there are two places you can do this one is at the handlebars where the throttle cable meets the handle. the other is on top of the carb. there is a thing to lock it where you set it and that will do nothing by its self.
I don't think you could have messed anything up by having it on sideways. You would just spill valuable petro
I hope this helps

O yeah you were worried about compression.
If your not getting enough compression. I would check gaskets. Usually if a gasket is blown you can tell by a close visual inspection. These gaskets are made by children in sweatshops. HAHA!! I'm just kidding. It could be true but they are cheap gaskets.
my buddies exaust gasket blew the first day he had it running. Then his magnito shorted out.
luckily we had my bike to help troubleshoot his. Just tried his parts on my motor till my motor would not run

It sounds like you might have flooded your motor when you installed the carb sideways. It will clear up eventually. Just keep trying.

Hey you should start off saying "Simon Says"
Simon says keep trying to start it.
He probably got it running and forgot to tell us. So were still trying to help him....

Actually, I did read through that thread. Actually, instead of towing, I disconnected the clutch and used a drill with a bit to turn the motor over. It worked until I chewed up the slot by slipping out of it. I am working on filing the slot and creating a tool to fit the new slot. After which I will start the process of elimination.
