Bike: stomp yx 140cc
Never good!

So yesterday I took my stomp yx 140 pitbike out for a spin, I noticed straight away that there wasn't much power at all, anyway I carried on riding and it wasn't revving high at all and suddenly it popped, lost all power and compression won't run at all. I have a feeling it is the piston rings or the piston as when you kick it off you can hear it moving up and down the barrel (so I think), does anybody else have any idea what's gone wrong? I will be stripping the engine some point this week to try diognose the problem myself but want to know if anybody with more knowledge than me would know anything.
Thanks.

Re: Never good!

What's the compression like if it's still good
1 check the valves
2 check the flywheel maybe the key has broke
Maybe the timing jumped ?

No there is no compression there were nuts and bolts flying around the head!
