is it getting any compression? if it doesnt sound like it then try taking the air filter off and put ur finger over the hole, that works for me.

i see whats happening, ok, when you are about to start open full throttle and prime it, then leave it full throttle and start it, it should fire, when it starts just let of the gas, if this doesnt work then somthing is round with your engine annd you need to contects duratax

well its getting fuel , but its kinda easy to pull . i filled up the cylender with 50 wt shock oil it got harder to pull . then i got ready i primed it and it cranked for like 5 seconds . after the oil left the motor it will not crank . is that a compression problems . and i need a new sleave and piston ?????????????????????
