This winter I bought this bike, mx 175. Great looking bike. Of coarse it was not running when I bought it. I like thwe challange. I have it all cleaned up but cant get it to start. It has great compression and fuel is getting to the cylender. The spark is there but not great. I cleaned the magnito terminals. Spark was a little better. I not against buying new parts for the bike but I don´t want to start buying unnessasary items. I have also changed the coil because it had a bad break in the lead. This bike has no battery, but it does have a headlight and tail light. no instruments. When I kick it over the headlight does not come on at all.
any ideas out there would be great. I´m dying to ride it.
