    Yeah take a look at the head. Are either of the valves open slightly? I had a quad with a bent valve and you could see it was open all the time when looking at it

    thanks I will check the valves. when I took it apart the cam chain was off the sprocket I thought that was the problem I put it back on and put everything back together but it still did not have any compression
