So, I got this bike for $100 from my boss because it has been sitting for about 5 years outside in northern colorado... it was to good a deal to pass up.
now, after about two weeks we've cleaned it up:
-cleaned the carbs
-no rust in the gas tank
-got the engine un seized
-changed the oil
so, i have spark, compression, everything seems good, but, when i kick the kick start there is black thick crap spraying out of the spark plug hole (not the technical term... i think). its pretty heavy, and obviously isnt allowing my bike to spark and turn over... any ideas on what could be causing this problem, and how i should fix it??? I'm not sure what it is, could be oil, could be grime from it sitting outside for three years, any thoughts???
