So New key. Stock ignition back in. Middle timing mark. Verified spark. Verified gas 40:1. Bike will not kick start.
I am getting a good kick with the compression release. Without it the compression is ridiculous. My friend Dan also has a kx500 without the compression release and we can both kick start that no issues. Its stock but in good shape. Could the compression release be causing the starting issues? Could my motor have too much compression (too much compression!, what does this question say about my manhood?)? I know Todd did some work to the head? Could the window in the piston be causing some fuel issues? The spark plug is wet and after 10 or so kicks I can smell gas. I've tried choke, no choke, primer kicks, no gas, some gas, fill gas, roll on gas. I'm really getting frustrated and sure appreciate the help.
