still cant get blasty goin...

[cap9709]

Ok well I still haven't gotten it started since the last time it died on me which we thought just just a fouled plug... But I put a new plug in and it ran for about 2 seconds then died. Also took the headlight off so is something electrically wrong? When it officially died with the old plug it kinda sputtered/died slowly when I turned it off

Have a Leak Down Tester ? , Have you checked for spark with a Good spark plug plugged into boot and grounded to head ? .

 

[cap9709]

I have a tester but I havent tested in awhile. I just put in a brand new br8es

 

[blasterBruce]

I would check for spark , Look into the carb boot at reeds to see if there intact and closed , And then Leak down test and go from there ! .

 

[cap9709]

The boot looks fine. Do you think I could've burned up my piston rings?

 

[blasterBruce]

Does it seem to have Compression when you push on the kick starter ? . Take the carb off and look into the reed cage , you can pull the Exhaust head pipe off to look at the piston and Cylinder walls .

 

[cap9709]

I wouldn't know how to tell by looking thru the reed cage or exhaust. It's the first 2 stroke I've ever owned so I'm not sure what its supposed to feel like. But compared to my crf250r it seems like it has nothing

 

[blasterBruce]

Well maybe a Compression check should be performed to make it easiest for you !.

 

[cap9709]

Ya how do you do it? Thanks!

 

[blasterBruce]

Insert Compression tester into Cylinder head Spark plug hole , Turn Off/Run Switch Off , Hold Throttle Wide open , And Kick At least 10 times , Max psi will be shown !

Looking in exhaust , things will either look nice, smooth, clean, or ugly, scarred, like http://www.blasterforum.com/general-support-17/blown-piston-carnage-pics-36877/this:
