Did you do the work yourself.....ie gaskets??

Is the timing correct????

If the valve is open it will not have the right compression

Check the valve timing and valve clearance. If you only have 25 pounds, its not gonna start.

I agree. It doesn't take but a minute to adjust the valves. If they are right then take the time to check the timing. Make sure your compression release isn't hung either.

hey man, check the air intake tube from the carb to the airbox, see if its puking any gas that way....this is a sure indicator that your timing is off. its probly just a timing problem...shouldnt be all that hard to straighten out---maybe someone more knowledgable than me can let him know where that marks are supposed to be on that machine.
