Getting a Low Compression, Fire Damaged Kawasaki Bayou 300 Started!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2020
  • Bought this Kawasaki Bayou 300 for $375 a few weeks ago. We tried to get it started once before and discovered that the compression was low, (60PSI), the valve timing was a little off, it had no spark, and the wire harness was hacked up. After installing the portable CDI, retiming the valves, and installing a PZ27 carburetor it still would not start. I put oil into the cylinder, the compression improved to 120PSI and the engine surprising started and ran pretty well. The next time we work on this engine, we will have to see if the compression holds and it manages to start when cold!

    Harvey's Hail Mary, gotta good ring to it. Another feat of magic and wizardry from the Grand Master. I hope to channel some of your mojo on my 3 state run tomorrow that hopefully will conclude with a Moose Country Plow in the back of my truck. Keep on rolling Harvey.

    Don't give up sir it may polish up the cylinder after that start but a set of rings and valve grind probable get you up over 90 psi good luck don't throw towel in its worth lot more running good luck sir.

    I've got a second bayou 220 that acts very similar. It runs sometimes and when it warms up it will just get weak and quit. Compression is low as well. It is to nice of a machine to not fix so I've got to pull it down and fix it. I'm probably just going to ring it and sevice the valves.

    Wow, you did it man. Good stuff. As soon as it started a thought to myself.."i wonder if he remembered to check the oil.."😲. Curious to see if it comes somewhat completely back to life.. 🙋‍♂️🌄

    nice. my honda was almost the same way but i think mine had a stuck ring or 2 ,oil did the trick for me too. i did put new rings in it they had a gap that i could put my finger between lol.

    I noticed the same timing chain situation on one of my KLF300bs. Almost looked like it was a tooth out, but it would be either too far forward or too far back no matter what I did. That one ended up having a worn out timing chain that was slapping the case. I put a used ebay one in which helped immensely but it was never perfectly aligned. It runs like a bat out of hell though aside from an off idle stumble when you stab the throttle.
    Your CDI box should take care of it, but I've noticed that on these atvs the CDIs tend to be very picky about voltage. If they don't have plenty of juice in the battery the CDI won't fire during cranking. I have one that has a new CDI unit but it still has to be pull started sometimes because it doesn't want to fire when the starter is pulling current.

      where the timing mark should be toward the front of the bike or behind ? i have the same issue with my kvf300 was running fine then randomly stop now i dont have much pressure ....its hard to tell where the timing goes it look kind a off on mine aswell

    I believe your low compression might be due to the decompression valve

    I find carb cleaner a little
    Better than starting fluid these days. More than a little squirt too.

    I have a 1988 Honda Trx200sx which you made some vids on. I took the case all apart and changed the gasket and oil, I changed the cdi, relay, and spark plug. It has spark, compression, timing is right, and it has suction coming through the intake. It will not start for nothing. I sprayed starting fluid into the intake on the carb, nothing. I even put some gas into the spark plug hole and nothing. The only thing I can think of is there’s no throttle or cable or anything just the cylinder that goes in the top of the carburetor and the needle that goes in it or the stator is bad. Let me know what I can do or any suggestions on what to check next. Thank you.

    Do you ever use carb cleaner as starting fluid I heard it’s the best to use .

    Does this have automatic decompression if so all you will get is 60 lbs pressure. Good luck

    Nothing is gonna run with 60 psi. Maybe will
    Push start but that’s not gonna run for shit. 90 psi is minimum for any engine.
