this thing sat for a year at my neighbor's house. i did some work for him he gave me this. it sat at my house for another 2 years. I'm tired of looking at it and taking it as a challenge to get running now that were semi-locked down. anyway, the seal behind the flywheel looks fine. is there...

thanks, yes, i did some reading and saw the 6 psi test. i was probably putting about 30psi to it, but the crank/piston blowby was so bad i doubt i hurt anything. the small end roller bearing looks like crap but the Wiesco kit includes a new one. I'm wondering if i should take this whole...

i saw a kit on amazon for $65 with piston/cylinder. was thinking of getting that but what else can i do? i still need to get the engine out and measure the bore. dang swingarm bolt is giving me grief now, problems are compounding:)

it is not uncommon for factory specs to be wrong sometimes. very interesting how the guy checked 6 stators and the coils all measured the same lower number, same as mine. meanwhile I thought my spark was weak but I figured out the compression is low. i was only doubting the pickup coil because...

Hi, sorry to bump an old thread but maybe someone reading today has info on this. My 06 Blaster won't start, spark is there but I'm not sure it's hot enough. My pickup coil is reading 20 ohms, which is out of spec according to the factory info, but right around the value the guy was getting on...
