You need to do a topend teardown and remove the head, cylinder, and piston to check out what happened. Be carefull to not drop anything down into the bottom through the cylinder. A manual will be your best friend as you do it so get a good manufacturers one instead of a generic clymers type.
Once you have the head and cylinder (jug) off take some good clear pictures and post them. That is the best way to get real usable advice on how to proceed. At least it is a 2 stroke which makes working on it much easier
Often Clymers will lump together several years and or models where as the manufacturers manual is specific to that bike. A 2 stroke isn't so bad because the basics stay the same so I guess a clymers would work just fine. I stand corrected if they don't come that way anymore it has been many years since I bought a clymersm4i2k2e2 said:i just completely rebuilt my entire 250 2 stroke engine with my my clymer manual and it is not by any means generic. i also have one for my 97 kx125 and my brother has one for his motorcycle and they are all great as i stated above. so, i dont know why you would say they are generic?

Mathieu D proper sentance and paragraph structure (as well as some spell check) would have made your point clearer. As you typed it the first thing you told him to do was try to start it then some undecipherable gibberishmathd said:My bad, yeah am sorry i should been more clear.
i trough the guy would consider fixing the bold before starting/testing it as its evident the engine cant run or have compression in this state the user also said it stalled and dosent run. after the gasket/bolt fixed he could kick once or twice as he already did kick it over a few time to see if it have enough compression to start ... So if it dont have compression or do not start its blown wich answer hes first question.
I also said in my first post that the best way to know what state it really is, he have to open and check.
The engine can not be blown but because of unknown internal engine damage it can blown in the near futur.
At this point i would consider order a top end kit and make sure the cylinder/crankshaft and bearings/seals are fine and also check for debrits in the crankcase, like coolant etc. but he didnt ask for that only asked if it was blown, and I DID advice at the first post to tear it down and check for damage because it is broken!
btw, i was really good in math, not good with french.
mathd is my name, Mathieu D, so thanks for the comment.
as the second thing to do hence my recomendation not to try starting it before tearing it down.if it are broken the best way to know what state it is have to open it and check.

hell yeah if the guy dont know that it have dowel pin :O. this remember me why i never let anyone else thant myself work on my bike.whenfoxforks-ruled said:That tube sticking up around the stud could be a dowel pin for aligning the head, should be 2? If the guy working on it does not know this, I would find someone else.
