Hey everybody. Hows it going? I recently got a used 4 stroke xmotos 125cc pit bike. it was a good price but needed work (mostly aesthetics). The bike had a fair amount of surface rust on the frame so i stripped it down to the frame to do some rust treatment and repaint the frame. the motor, carburetor, and other parts were removed but not taken apart at all. i was planning on cleaning up the carb and tuning up the bike after. anyways, after repainting the frame, put motor, carb, tires, etc. back on and now i seem to be getting little to no compression at all. The bike started up and ran fine after one crank previously. Any ideas what might be causing this problem? Im not a mechanic and im using this cheap bike as a project. any help would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any input. Have a great day.
