Engine Trouble Motor runs at idle but doesnt accelerate

[Beastiebikes]

most auto parts stores will loan a compression gauge for free

wish I had that motor in the shop, because I can't understand what this could be, but probably would be obvious if I saw it

I have an eerie feeling if i crack open the case Ill find blocked up oil residue soot.

check your head bolts torque

retightened head bolts theyre very snuck. inspected magneto cable making sure im getting spark. the engine turns over once iu plugged the magneto wire back in that fell out. but i still do not have any acceleration. motor will idle but wont move the bike before dying.

Make sure there are no air leaks around the head, those stock heads are notorious for developing warps.

That's not possible, you don't get burning fuel in the crankcase, if you did it would be the end of the engine.
