[QUOTE="dansf100, post: 1391484, member: 110305"] ok, I guess I found another major issue on this bike. The last person to use it was my brother a few years ago and after he returned it to me I never fired it up again, just assumed it was still working other than the brake and clutch levers he broke. Turns out the best I can get out of the engine is just shy of 50psi on a compression test. I don't know that much about 2 strokes but I'm pretty sure that's not good. The clymer manual makes mention of anything below 100psi being bad. As for the carb, adjusted the float level to a point where it stopped leaking....at least I thought it had, came back about a half hour later and it was starting to drip out of the bowl vent again.....ARGH! This things driving me nuts. Any suggestions on a plan of attack for the engine? Am I looking at a total rebuild here or are they prone to certain issues I should be looking for with low compression? Not sure how willing I am to keep dumping money into this thing. [/QUOTE]
