Last weekend my SJ started running a little rough, and was hard to start. Eventually it wouldn't start at all. This all happened within 10 minutes. I was getting spark, but that's all I could check at the time.
The motor is a 61x/61x with a Wetjet 46mm carb and intake. Stock electronics advanced a few degrees. When I got it home I changed the plugs, and was still getting spark. Checked the compression, and it was fine. It would crank fine, but never even came close to turning over. I took the intake off to check the reeds, and they were okay. I took the flywheel off to make sure the stator hadn't loosened up and screwed up the timing. It was a mess in there. :banghead: Bunch of oily residue. So either the crank seal or the stator cover is leaking. The crank seal 'looked' okay. I'm gonna to a leak down test as soon as I find the plates I made before, and clean up the stator.
Would an air leak keep it from turning over? Would the gunk on the stator screw up timing enough to not start?
