Message: [QUOTE="dc4lsteg, post: 1433109, member: 124635"] Hi, so Im trying to get my cr250 running again after sitting for a couple months. I have good compression, spark, and fuel. Bike was always hard to start since I got it, and would take forever to start unless it was already warm from running. So the bike sat for awhile and I decided to go riding again and I couldnt get it started. First I started by changing the spark plug and check for spark which is good. Next I checked the compression with tester and got 160 on a dry test. Then I verified fuel was getting to the carb without any restrictions, after that I pulled the carb apart and cleaned everything out. Got it back on and still nothing , It would sound like it was going to start but wouldnt fire. So after searching on what it could be I decided to not try and troubleshoot with this carb(PJ) and when and picked up a PWK "air striker" at a local shop(used)I used my stock throttle cable and installed the matching slide off the PWK. Threw it on today and it fires sometimes and will run for a couple seconds but bogs when i hit the throttle and it wont idle by itself, also on some kicks the bike will just back fire really bad. Also its not very hard to kick the bike over I can almost do it with my hand, as said compression was checked(160), and from looking at the piston and ring theres no obvious signs of damage. So from the info I can find Im narrowing it down to incorrect ignition timing, air leak, crank seal, or incorrect carb adjustment. Is there anything else I should check? Im just trying to be able to take my bike for a ride before I move in 2 weeks and can no longer ride at home. ALL HELP/INPUT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! [/QUOTE]
