First off Id like to say this is my first official post pertaining to a problem with my banshee . Have a 1997 stock engine pro circuits carbs jetted 30 and 300 no lid New York . Ran fine no problems 3rd kick start all the time .. Had a friend who does mechanic work strip my bike to powder coat the frame . Bike was put back together right , fluids changed etc . Upon completion the kickstart got jammed in between gears (never happened before) that provlem was resolved . Now she doesn't start at all .. I rode it to my friends shop fine .. There is spark oil etc . After this problem I redrained oil and found metal shavings .. But all looks good under the crank case .. My friend said he tried starting it before I got there and he possibly may have flooded engine the first time after he put her back together .. Anything ? I'm planning on checking compression in the morning but any suggestions ? Thanks

Bike ran fine whn I drove it prior to frame powdercoat.: after that was done and the bike was put back together , that's when the kick start got locked/jammed .. Anywhere to start would really help ! Thanks in advanced

Engine was just taken off of frame and then put on crate and back in frame after powder coat .. I'll check the assembly of the kicker in the morning .. Can a piston have seized from not even ridin ? Last ride was right before the strip down

@sleeper Im in brookkyn new york .. Quick question . From last week ( bike started on 2-3rd kick ) till now , without riding the bike or anything .. Can the compression drop so much that it's unstartable ? If she was starting last week with low compression wouldn't she start again today ? My cousin said he tested compression last week and it was at 90 , today he said its at 25

Is it possible my mechanic from flooding the engine and kicking 50-70 times that he could have blew a piston ? .. I rode the bike fine last week and conoression was at 100 .. He did a compression test today and she is at 25?!
