SOURCE: yz 250 wont kickstart

Hi!
You obviously look after your machine and very sensible when laying up, however as you are probably aware 2 strokes rely heavily on compression, A. to produce excellent combustion and B. to draw fuel into the chamber. So when you try kick starting you can't get enough revolutions to draw the correct amount of fuel into the cylinder, where as you push start you constantly turn over the engine increasing compression slightly and bingo it fires.
Can you remember how when kick starting it before this problem the feel on resistance when kicking over? has it now become a lot easier? if so you possibly have worn or broken compression piston rings.
A compression test will reveal this, I hope this sorts your query?
Press the Blue button please for my FREE effort,
Thank You!

SOURCE: 1981 yz 80 kickstarter slipping, the gears all

hi , two things to look at : 1- change your oil to a not so thick oil which could cause your problem . 2- your clutch could be too tight therefore needs to be relaxed to allow your kick start working

My yamaha pw 80 won't kickstart and can you tell me why gas is coming out were the spark plug goes when i try kickstart?

I'm assuming you mean gas comes out the spark plug hole with the plug removed??? You probably have a gummed up carburator, due to old gas or dirt. Make sure your air filter is clean first, and then get your carburator thoroughly cleaned. If your float is sticking, or the float needle is dirty or worn out, it will keep dumping fuel to the engine.

Yz 125 2001 model. i went down to the garage and kickstarted the bike she fired up no problem then the engine cut out after a minute now the kickstart is real heavy too push down and will not start, any...

Sounds like the piston seized.
Pull the spark plug and hand crank the engine if the piston moves up and down with little effort your ok but if you have a lot of resistance top end rebuild needed.

My 125dt dosent sart or kick sart,the gear inside have a bushing in shafting?or it was broken..

Common cause of kickstarter not engaging(I am guesing that this is your problem) is a broken spring on the kickstart mechanism,or that the kickstart idler gear cerclip has fallen off(this allows the idler gear to move forward on the shaft & thus won't allow the kickstart gear to transfer drive to the clutch hub).Remove clutch cover, put kickstart lever back on shaft spline,activate kickstart lever by hand(easier with sparkplug removed+in neautral)as kickstart lever moves down 90 degrees the gear on the kickstarter mechanism should move out to engage with gear next to it(kickstart idler gear).If the gear on the kickstarter mechanism dosn't move outward it has a broken spring on the kickstart mechanism.replace spring and all should work.(if the spring is broken you need to try find the broken piece with a magnetic pick-up tool as the broken part can cause further damage if not removed)To do this job I highly recommend you first purchase a workshop manual which will guide you through these processes.After all a manual is the most valuable tool in your tool kit.
