On a side note, I've gotten the friction plates and metal plates out of my clutch basket. But I see the tab washer has been bent onto the nut, is there a way to remove this? I've tried to bend it back carefully with a screw driver but I cant get enough leverage without damaging something.

Yeah RSA = Republic of South Africa. The cheapest leakdown test kit I can find here locally goes for about R2000 ($150) which is a stretch out of my budget :P I'll see if I can fashion something tomorrow. 0.5 bar = 7.25 psi

Thanks for the links but I live in RSA :) I'm sure I could get these seals from somewhere cheaper. I'll have to do some driving around this weekend. Regarding the leak-down test, do you reckon a compressor hooked up to a pressure regulator will be fine? Regulated to 0.5 bar?

I'm using Yamalube IIRC. I'm not mixing my own at the moment, I still have the oil pump hooked up. It seems to be running fine for now. I'm gonna give my local Yamaha dealer a call and order the new seal kit.

Thanks guys. It was the spark plug. Changed it for a new one and started pretty much instantly. I suspect the crank seals are due for replacement, could be why the plugged fouled. Exhaust smoke is white.

The plug might be an issue tbh. It has a black residue on it. I'll grab a new one in any case.

Spark is a light blue. Flywheel key is in good condition. No noises coming from the magnets. All parts show no rust. I'll have to open the case again to check the ground wire.

Reeds aren't the best. But they are sufficient. They were flaring a bit, but I flipped them and they sitting flush now. Compression is sitting at just over 9 bar.

Hi all, First time poster, but have been using this forum for knowledge for a while. I have a '92 Blaster that just won't start. I have tried everything to get this thing running. - There is fuel getting through (wet spark plug). - There is compression. - There is spark. I thought it might...
