1998 CR 125: I just put a fresh top end together tonight and kicked it over, it started to run on the first kick and then the next 500 kicks absolutely nothing. I'm getting fire, good compression, and left no rags in any airhole. I just don't understand, it ran fine before, so it's evidently something that I did in the rebuild I guess? What do you guys think?
it started first kick and then what? stalled right away? revved to the moon and stalled? went BAAWwwwwwwppft? it could just be a fouled plug OR it could be worse - hard to say without knowing how it stalled
Nicky, I finally got it running, I just come in from riding on a awesome 62 degree November day LOL. Just in case someone else would have this problem I thought I would post what my solution was. When I pulled the plug cap off of the plug it pulled clean away from the coil wire, when I put it back together there wasn't enough coil wire there to make contact with the plug cap, well just enough to give me a weak spark but not enough to run. So I snipped the coil wire end exposing fresh wire and connected back to the plug cap and first kick it fired right up. Thanks for the suggestions!!!!!!
