Valves could be sticking closed or open causing (good or bad compression) that or de-com-lever if faulty somehow.. And you need to do a compression test
I doubt there is no compression it is probably the kickstart mechanism. The ratchet on some of the old Hondas tend to give out. It probably isnt as bad as you think.
KICK HARDER TRY PULL STARTING IT..IN SECOND GEAR..DOES IT HAVE ENOUGH COMPRESSION TO START?IT SHOULD START PULLING IT...START OFF WITH NO THROTTLE THAN IF NOT STARTING CRACK THE THROTTLE SO LIGHTLY AND SHE SHOULD FIRE OFF WHILE IN GEAR BEING PULLED OF COURSE BE CARE FUL NOT TO RUN INTO. WHO EVERS PULLING YOU..USE A LONG TOW ROPE..IF YOUR NOT A SEASONDED RIDER AND KNOW YOUR BIKE VERY WELL I WOULD NOT ATTEMPT THE PULL START...IF NOT CHECK YOUR COMPRESSION AND TIMING..MAJOR VACUUM LEAK MAYBE AT BASE GASKET..IS ENGINE SUCKING TO MUCH AIR? GOOD LUCK..
Hi ,
Sorry to hear this about your bike but follow these instruction .
Firstly remove the spark plug .
put your bike with the back wheel off the grown and in any gear try to turn the back wheel .
due to no compression you should technically turn the rear wheel in gear .
If this does not work and it will not kick start without the spark plug out and still remain seized i am afraid that you will need to look at getting a new top end rebuilt .
Give it a try and let me know how you go .
First , check your compression with a compression tester. It should be at least 100 pounds pressure just to run. Preferably 120,130,140,etc.. Some motorcycles have a decompression cable that works off the kick lever, others have a decompression lever you hand operate. I believe yours is hand operated . I think the actual lever in the valve cover on top of the motor is sticking or the decompression cable itself is hanging up and not allowing the exhaust valve to close properly.
Remember all Honda's are cold blooded. Make sure your gas is on, full choke, pull the decompression lever, no throttle, kick the engine over 3 or 4 times. Let go of the decompression lever. Now start the bike.
kick it over till you feel the compression. Pull d comp lever and kick it maybee a quarter or eighth kick. just enough to get past top dead center on compression stroke. Then kick like you going to start it.
One, or more, of the three necessary ingrediants for combustion are missing: fuel, compression, and a spark (at the right time).
You said that it started to overheat. Find out why. Then, check the engine's compression. You need at least 140 psi of compression, in every cylinder, for the engine to start and run. Low compression indicates either the need for a valve adjustment - or serious engine repairs.
