Vintage Two Strokes / 1979 yz 125 wont start. Help?
« on: September 08, 2011, 09:22:33 AM »
Hello everyone,
I just had my 1979 yz 125 rebuilt both bottom and top end
when i put the engine back in my bike it took MANY kicks to start it
-when it finally did it ran BACKWARDS
-i heard this is a timing problem to i have been playing around with it and cant get it to start still
-i matched the notches in the timing 2mm before TDC
-There is a spark
-compression
-fresh gas
-clean carb
-no start, doesnt even try
I tried tipping the bike over and emptying any excess fuel from the cylinder
-this worked and a good amount of fuel came out
-still wont start
does anyone have any ideas of what i should try?
thanks!!!!
