okay so Ive been rebuilding a 1984 tecate for a little while now, bored top 1mm over, rebuilt carb, tore everything down and painted. This is my first 2 stroke, its been a labor of love lol until now. I rode it this weekend around the neighborhood seems to run good but the gear shifter seems really loose, it doesn't take much to shift i mean. When i got back from riding, the front sprocket? or something on the left side was leaking oil so i took a look at it, took chain off and sprocket but couldn't tell cause it was getting dark said screw it, ordered oil seal kit that night. then yesterday went to kick start her and it wouldn't move, like motor was seized, took spark plug off and pushed it and the piston was moving but the kick start still wouldn't move. so i drained oil and i found metal flakes in the oil i messed with the kickstart spring and it seems fine. Things that are on my mind i put SAE 10-40 motorcycle oil in her, i might have over filled a little, the kick start was loose and would slip at times. I'm scared to pull start and ride her, i dont want to mess anything up. Could sombody who knows tecates help me out. Sorry this was so long just trying to put all the info i could.
