Just rebuilt the '97 with a true and welded crank and new pistons. Tried to start it for the first time tonight and kicks over fine. After several kicks I will get a loud pop and a spark out of the right side exhaust. It will not start. Also seems to have a funny feeling in the kickstarter when this happens. Any suggestions?

Check all your wiring...

I'm assuming your jetting was fine before the rebuild, the carbs are clean, etc.

 

Do you still have the TORS on? Are you getting enough fuel to the carbs? (Pinched line, dirt in the tank/filters, etc.)

 

No burned/cut/melted wires in your wiring harness...from the tail light to the head light.

 

Double check to make sure you put the flywheel back on properly...

 

A mis-timed spark or lack thereof can cause this. Also...did you set the air gap for your flywheel to pickup properly?
