    3Fiddy back up and *edited for Keister* running!!!

    I finally got my 350x motor back from the mechanic... I needed the counter shaft replaced, the PO welded the sprocket on. While it was apart, it got alot of stuff done: cylinder hone, new piston and rings, valves done, crank bearings, all new seals, complete gasket set, and I dunno what else. I got the motor in tonight and everything hooked back up, and I have spark, and fuel in the carb, but it won't fire, not even a pop, and this was a one kick engine before it went to the shop. It kind of feels like the compression release is always on... any ideas?

    check your valve adjustments before you take any big measures...

    I'd start with checking the rocker arm adjustment and the cam timing. Maybe the jets are plugged up in the carb?
    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.

    try priming it right into the cyllender a little bit, if it starts on that prime, it might might work some gas in and run alright, if that wont work, either valve adjust or carb adjust
    no more toys maybe buy a 250r?

    When my 350x doesn't start its the kill switch. I know you said you have spark but, the switch gets me a lot. Could be a CDI but, where it was running before I doubt it.

    I need to change the title, because it runs GREAT! I put the back brakes on this morning, finished up some details, and just for the heck of it, gave it a kick, and WHAM! First kick! This is running like a dream... new bearings are amazing, this must be what they felt like new. The thing runs strong, shifts flawlessly... wow. I am in love all over again! I wanna go riding!

    No clue... it was late, hot and humid, I was frustrated... anyway, I just finished the break in procedure prescribed by my mechanic, and she's ready to RIP! Thanks for the possible solutions guys... glad it fixed itself! After putting around the yard for almost a year on 70's and 90's, this things feels like a beast! lol
