Welp, i've been tryin to get the klt to run decently the past couple of days now, but its kinda hard to when i have no pull start and i have to roll it down a hill everytime i wanna try to start it. i've gotten it to start up a couple of times but it seams to have no torque at all even in first gear. i'll start out rolling down the road in first and it starts up, smokes a bit and dies if i let go of the throttle, when i go to turn and go back up the hill it just bogs out and dies, i think this thing has no compression or something.
i cleaned the carb, put fresh gas in, checked the oil, it seamed to have a little too much oil..., i checked the valves, and i checked the spark plug. since its smoking i assume it might need new piston rings or possibly the cylinder might need to be bored out, if so could this be causing the major loss of power? even if i switch it into neutral after rolling down the hill it will bog out, i think what keeps it running is the momentum form the hill, what could be the problem?
