250sx Trouble !!!!

[cj_89]

got an 85 honda 250sx here, put a magneto bearing in her today and she wont fire, i tried cleanin the carb,another park plug.. but still no go.. shes gettin fire but she dosent even attempt to start any ideas, i NEED this bike fixed!:(

[cj_89]

ok bys i think i have the magnweto problem fixed but where i tightened the magento on i needed to stp the engine from turning so i jammed a screwdriver down in the spark hole and the screwdriver went thorught the piston, is it possible to weld?

:eek: How hard did you Jam it? Its possible to tig it but I wouldnt recommend it. I cant believe the screw driver went through the piston

[timex69]

I dont think its possible to shove a screw driver through a piston. Just get a flashlight and check tho. Also if you shoved a hole through the piston you would have no/little compression. Check the 4 main things. Compression Spark Fire and fuel and go from their. Sometimes a little starting fluid is in order.

In order for us to help you troubleshoot your problem give us some more details, is this the first time you took this bike apart...did it run before you removed the magneto.

Hope this helps man

[cj_89]

well theres a hole there cuz io put the spark plug back in and wound it over,no compression. i had to go in the house out of it i was going to pull the axe on it and solve all my problems

Someone needs a repair manual and a crash course in "small engine repair.

Wow.... Just wow.......

holy piston! must have had some impact or breaker bar on that thing. Also, you can weld it, by all means, but I would replace it.

also, make sure you find that little piece of piston floating around in the bottom of your crank case before you put it back together, its small, but could could cause some issues.

good call big red that little piece went strait to the crank case.
