Help!!

Alright guys. I thought the head gasket was it, but went to start after it was installed and still no fire. Great compression now. Its got spark but its fairly weak(i found out the hard way) ive got a couple pictures of the reeds. Could it be the coil?

you should replace or flip those reeds that aren't closing all the way.


do the electrical tests in the service manual

Those reeds could stop it starting.

ja flip the reed around to try get them to close better, failing that, give the carby a good makeover

I would junk those reeds. Flipping them only buys you some time.

Yuuuup. Bad reeds. Your not getting good case pressor with the reeds sticking open like that. The reeds need to seal so when the piston comes down,it can pressurize the lower end forcing the fuel threw the transfers into the cylinder.

Alright, ill order some boyessen reeds and flip these for now so i can ride a little bit.
with them sticking open like that could that have been what caused my bike to bog until it shut off.
