Bike: 1992 (yes 92) CR250
Problem: Bike wont start.
Symptoms: Pops like it wants to start, and even runs for a short amount of time. MAJOR kick back on the kick starter, almost like it is back firing or something. I appears that the timing is WAY off, but it is not adjustable.
Background:
Bike had a crack in the frame. Previous owner had it welded by a prof. welder and it has not run since. We replaced Stator and CDI module as both of these tested bad. The bike has good spark, compression, and the carb has been re-worked twice.
Attempts to fix:
1. Double check install of CDI and Stator assy.
2. Check Fire with tester that shows spark.
3. Check compression.
4. Check Power Valve operation.
5. Rebuild Carb.
6. Check flywheel and it's placement on crank.
Am I missing something here? This thing kicks like a scalded MULE when trying to start it. I am afraid of breaking my ankle sometimes. It pops, and smokes a little but never really starts.
Any suggestions?
