Compression?

Hi all,

 

I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction re. Bombardier 250 Military Motorbike.

 

Its a two stroke rotary valve 250cc engine, and I have recently had it running, however I can't get the rev's any lower that 3000rpm (supposed to idle at 1000rpm).

The first couple of times it started it would start easily on the second kick, however now I can't get it started unless I push start it. There is a trickle of oil coming out of the head, it looks like its coming out where the head meets the block, around where the gasket fits. Its a thick oily substance with some petrol in it. I know for a fact that the spark is good, and the plug usually comes out wet with fuel after trying to start.

 

I thought that the gasket may have gone, which would also cause the leak. Just wondering if there were any other suggestions before I remove the head and put in a new gasket which I will have to order.

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

hi , two strokes :cry: , said I'd never have another one then bought the Munga :) Is the slide a flat or cylindrical one ,, because I've had the cylindrical ones where the slide pin has worn letting the cylinder to turn so the tick over adjuster pin ends up on the bottom of cylinder slide :-( just checked back your slide is shut ,, next two stroke problem air leaks in crank case IE case gaskets head gasket ,, and the best one that every one overlooks crank bearing seals , just helped a neighbor rebuild a voskod because he was having a job to get it going , He said he'd tried all sorts I said strait away crank seals ,, runs well now there replaced
