brandon if you pull down on the kick starter and it has similar compression to another 80's, I would check your stator,kill switch button and wire.if it's none of them you probably need a top end.

CHECH THE GETTING IN THE BIKE . IF IT IS RUNNING TO RICH IT WILL BOG. TAKE THE SPARK PLUG OUT AND SEE HOW IT IS RUNNING IF IT HAS ALOT OF OIL ON AND AROUN THE ELECTROBE THEN IT IS RUNNING TO RICH .AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAN THE BIKE OUT. REMEMBER THE LOWER THE MAIN JET THE LEANER AND DON'T GO TO LEAN THE PLUG SHOULD BE TAN. WHEN I RACED MY 80 I HAD A 340 MAIN JET IN IT AND IT RAN GOOD. GOOD LUCK
