Hey guys,
I've got a friend with a 2000 YZ426. He just had the engine (bottom end and top) rebuilt. Today is his first attempt at getting it started and we can't get anything to happen. He says it doesn't feel like it has much compression (may take a little run in time for the rings to seat, right?), we've checked to ensure we're getting spark (we are), now he's going to pull the plug again and dump a tablespoon of fuel down the plug hole to ensure it's getting fuel. We've tried bumpstarting it (and kicked it several times, but not getting much of a response......an occasional backfire). What are we missing? It doesn't have the automatic decompression, but he's able to kick it over without pulling the decompression lever. Any and all ideas welcome!
