the past few days i've been doing a little here and there..
bottom line is got the bike running for a block but it was only going at 5mph or around there it was pretty slow. (I HAVE NO IDEA WHY ANY INPUT ON THIS?)
few times before that it would stutter a bit like it would wanna turn on but after a few seconds it would just die out.
the whole cylinder to piston size wasn't cooperating because i forgot to put on those metal gaskets right before the head. so i added 2 extra homemade ones and thats when it started to run for the distance of the block like i mentioned earlier..
after that it just died out slowly and it wouldnt turn on anymore after that.
an uncle of mine told me its most likely the timing.
I have checked for spark (got a small orange one) the bottom half is a brand new engine so i doubt its the magneto or the CDI since its emitting spark.
any input / suggestions / ideas how to get my bike back and running.
i will post pics later on. my bike is a little modified with a strange new expansion chamber (i havent been able to test it out yet! :/ )
and i got a seat post that leans pretty low
Four head gaskets = low compression = 5mph.
