[QUOTE="jimsowen, post: 188953, member: 2701"] Its got mass compression, I cleaned carby after the rebuild before I started it. Air filter is fine. First start after rebuild it started on the 3rd kick. I did 2 heat cycles then the next day I took it for a 5 min slow ride it started on 3rd kick with choke on. After 4mins it bogged down in 3rd gear lost all power and stalled. Back wheel didnt lock up but had no engine noise/power. I kicked it over started back up first kick. I got it home and found that it it was weeping coolant from the outside of the head. I ripped off the head and found coolant on top of the piston. I cleaned it up and used the old reuseable head gasket and it wasnt leaking in or out side of the head after the ride. It took a bit to start and would not fire with the choke on. I took it for a easy ride that time. The next time I rode it it wouldnt start with choke on and took atleast 20 kicks to start with choke off. I warmed it up then went for a 15min ride at about 12mins it lost all power and bogged down then stalled. I pulled in clutch then released to try and bump start it but nothing. I pulled out plug and inspected it was on the lean side at a greyish colour but not fully white. [/QUOTE]
