You have lost 40 in compression. If I saw a reading like that and the bike wouldn't start I would remove and inspect the top end. Sometimes when they are at the bottom of the compression range they just will not start or it is next to impossible to start. Try to do a wet compression check and see if...

Its been a long time since I did a compression check on that motor but if I recall the compression zone for that engine is 120-160. Your at the lowest end so your prob going to have to open that top up and take a look. I doubt it is the intake. But I could be wrong.

Did you do a compression test before tearing down the top end? Before you replace the rings make sure to check the gap and also remember to hone the cylinder before you install a new set of ring or piston kit. To check the gap you need a feeler gauge. Don't use those short ones. Use the long feeler ...

Very nice!! I love how you did the gauge.

To pod or not to pod that seems to be the question. I have good results running BBK's with a pod on a stock carb but in Vegas we don't have a lot of hills in town so maybe that is why. Most of the time I used the stock box with the uni breather tabs. I do have bigger pilot jets for the stock carb. T...

The weather is going to be bad in Seattle. My niece lives there with her 4 kids and she is a bit worried about the wind.

sometimes the carbs come loose from the intake mani. If its sputtering then it could be something as simple as a fouled plug as wheel suggested. I have seen bikes idle fine with a foul plug but as soon as you give it gas the bike will sputter and die.

I just wanted to touch base on the pilot jet. The pilot jet only controls the 1/4 throttle. It was not suppose to be a magic bullet. The theory is if the pilot is to lean on the 1/4 throttle it could cause heat spikes during de-acceleration when you let off the throttle or slow down into the 1/4 thr...

Great job Gary.

Pat is da Man with his great advice.

Thanks for letting us know. People will read this in the future and it is good to know the bike is still running great.
