ok, DriverDoyle if you get this, i need your help... my raptor is friggin screwed.. i had it running like a champ 2 days ago, then all the sudden it bogged, seemed like it was starving for gas, then died.. now today, i go to start it, and it feels like there is no compression at all, it just spins and spins, but its not the woodruff key, i was wondering if the one-way could be out because every few spins i can here it compress somewhat, and when we pull it, it does the popcorn exhaust bit when i flood the hell out of it... any ideas? this thing is on my last nerve..

 

Have you done a compression check.If it was running and it started to bog down.I don't think it could be the one way.Check the breather vent on your gas cap.If it is plugged it would vapor lock the fuel system.

 

check your air intakes on the carb. my kfx was running real good one day,stopped turned it off ,went to move it about 15min later and it wouldnt start. finally figured out the tube from the carb to my air filter(clamp on) came loose. just barely!!. put it back on and tightened it tight anf she started right up. good luck.

 

thanks guys, i'll give it a try

 

ok, update, did all the above, everything good, it shows nothing on the compression meter, sounds like it turning over, and part of the assembly is eg. timing marks, yet its not pushing the crankshaft over and compressing, so i'm convinced it's the one way.. i've heard not to go with oem, so what would you guys recommend?
