It doesn't run. The PO said he rode it to work and came out and it just clicked and nothing happened. He needed to unload it as it was his daily.
I figured it probably just filled the combustion chambers fuel and was locked so I put it in gear after I got it home and pushed it backwards and it starter button and it turned over a bit.
I pulled the plugs, they were dry. Tried cranking it and the start just clicked. Threw some mystery oil in the cylinders.
Put it back in gear and rocked it back and forth. We could feel it turn over :confused
Tried cranking it and it turned over maybe once then stopped. Put it back and forth and rocked it. Same thing. Turns over for a second then stops.
I pulled the ignition pick up cover off on the right side and turned it over with a wrench, it goes maybe ~170 degrees before the wrench stops turning and the crank stops, then I can turn it backwards to the same point, about ~170 degrees.
Held the throttle open and manually turned it over, all the intake valves are there AND moving with the motor.
I am going to pull the header this weekend and check the exhaust valves.
Are these known to drop exhaust valves? What else should I check?
sorry for the long winded post!
Thanks
