Re: pitbike will not start

ok wht kind of bike do you have pitbike or motocross bike


also if there is no compression yo may want to think of changing the rings and possibly a piston kit

Re: pitbike will not start

if your bike has low compression the first thing to check is the head gasket then the piston rings if its a 4 stroke could be valves but as it runs i would think head gasket or rings

long shot but is it manual clutch ???? if so then is the adjustment in engne case done up to much.
if ur not sure remove a 3-4inch round cover right side of bottom end that is fitted with two screws,once removed you will see 10mm bolt slacken off and wind centre screw out till you feel no presure on screw then lock the nut back up.
