XS650 Kook
Hey everyone. I finally decided to get out from under my own fear of not knowing a god damned thing and ask for help.
I have a '71 with a 750 big bore kit, HHB PMA, and Boyer's ignition. I bought it from a fellow last week and over the weekend dropped the engine into my bobber frame. I cut all the wiring and rewired a new and healthy loom. I fried the reg/reg when I was putting everything back and the bike wouldn't start. I disconnected the reg/rec and the bike fired up, and ran for about 2 seconds before dying. There after I went to kick the bike again but received MINIMAL compression. The kick through was spongy and didn't build any back pressure. I took the kick assembly out as I read that it might be an issue of a slipped spring. I replaced the assembly and went to kick again only to find the same issue.
Is this a cam chain issue? Is this a clutch issue? I don't know where to begin and am willing to do what needs to be done as I'm broke as joke and want to ride thing as soon as possible. I'd love any help. Thank you!
