...you had a 1983 yamaha mx100 that wouldn't start, although an hour earlier it was running fine? I checked the spark, it was fine, also the carb, all jets were clean and the float was good.
I roll start it, it does start and run for about 30 seconds, but it is very weak. Then it won't start at all. The gas is fresh, the oil is fine(it's an automatic oil-mixing two-stroke). Ground wires for kill switch aren't touching, choke is half-out. Head bolts are torqued, exhaust pipe is on good, it has a new air filter.
I noticed the plug was wet when I checked it, but not too black.
My guess is the ignition(although the spark plug looks fine- it sparks) or compression.
BTW my neighbor and I just bored it and put a new piston and rings in.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
