97 kawasaki Lakota 300 low compression
First of all, thank you for the site and the gained knowledge. This lakota currently has a no start issue. I checked the basics first. Fuel, yes, spark, yes. Compression, 60-70psi with fuel on and throttle open. Ok so I double check the timing and that is correct. I check to see if the rockers are not pushing on the valves at TDC. There not touching. I go ahead and set the gaps. So I ran leak down test to see where the Compression is escaping. None from carb. None from exhaust. Lots of air from oil filler plug and crank case vent. So I assume I need rings now. So then I pour in a teaspoon of oil in the plug hole and tested Compression again. Still only 60-70 psi. So at this point I almost think I have a hole in the piston the size of Texas. Has anyone out there ran into this? Thanks in advance.
