Just put new piston in. Ran the engine through 2 heat cycles and took it for a short ride, bike was very powerful, in fact better than I'd ever known it. Washed it put it away, went to go for a ride the next day.. No dice.
Took the barrel back off had a look at the piston everything looks fine new fuel, new spark plug, new oil, new air filter no dice.
Tried spare Cdi on it that is a worker no dice.
Checked the jetting taken carb apart new jets in. No dice
Tried the spark plug on the side of the engine, seems to be a spark although not very strong.
Anybody have any input? Is there anyway of testing the coil?
Could the new piston be no good? Did feel alittle low on compression when I first kicked it up, but 'feels ok' now and ran great before on the heat cycles.
Could the power valve being stuck open prevent starting?
Incase you hadn't guessed I'm clutching at straws..
