Hi i am new to the site i just got a 1985 RM125 for free it sat outside all last winter but ran the previous summer.  Coolant had leaked into the crank case so i replaced all the top end gaskets. But i still can't get it running it is no longer leaking coolent i know it has spark it has compression but i can't tell if the fuel is getting into the cylinder. When i put my hand against the air intake side of the carb i can feel very little air being sucked in and a lot being pushed out i don't know if this is normal with 2-stroke engines or not this is my first experience with them.  I took the cylinder back off thinking it might be the reed valves i cleaned them up and checked for cracks but it still won't start.  I am almost positive the carb is not gummed up because i can see fuel coming out of jet openings on air intake side of the carb, also when i kick it over the bowl over flow port on the bottom of carb starts leaking out fuel.  I am stumped by this one any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Aaron
