I’m helping out a friend of mine and he brought me an 06 outlander max 400. Two other shops had given up on it. One shop had rebuilt the carb and charged him and it fixed nothing. I received the machine a few weeks ago and I did my checks. Spraying staring fluid into the carb right when it started dying did nothing. Spark was showing through the in line tester even after it started dying. I did a compression check and I got 170 psi. However I noticed that oil was squirting out the spark plug hole when I cranked it over. I pulled the top end and brought it to a machinist and he said it was worn out. So it got a new 1mm over wiseco and new oem valvels and seals with a top end cometic gaskets. Put it all back together and it does the same thing.
I tried swapping batteries thinking the old one may cause the issue. No luck.
I have a buddy with an 04 outlander parts bike so I went and picked that up and today I swapped out the cdi and the coil and still no change. I can’t even get it to start anymore holding it wide open. I also doubled checked my mechanical timing and its spot on.
How will an engine act if the decompressor is stuck on?
