Suup all need some advice. I have a friend that have had a Honda elite that has stop working a year an half ago. Now it is sitting in my garage. I have clean the carb ,change the air filter ,change the spark blug , i dump the old gas and old oil out . I've bought a new battery and change the fuse. I have tried to electric start it but not even a sign that says it will electric starts. So I tried the kick start . Nothing happen . Then I choke it with my hand it start but went dead again . I know it is not my carb because I clean it over and over . Every times I take the air filter out and choke it with my hand then put back the air filter box then kick start . It start for at least 15 second and died again. I am about to buy a compression tester to run a test. Question does it required a specific compression test ? Because I stop at auto parts today the cheapest one I saw was for $20.00.
Other questions
When I unscrew the fours screws on the top of the cylinder there is one part that seems it is glue and I can't reach the piston to look at it . How do I get the Piston out????????
When I finish running a compression test and change rings if needed would that result the fact that it can't electric start????????
