I don't think so. After I push the valve back down it will run for a little while, then it gets hung up again. I'll have to take pictures to show you what I'm talking about. The top of the valve stem is bent where the spring is. The person I got it from, must have really abused it. I'm not going to say he screwed me over, but he didn't do me any favors. But what do you expect for $250. I stopped messing with it for now, because I don't want to cause anymore damage. I have ordered parts and they are on the way

I found the problem... the intake valve is bent. The valve spring was rubbing the side of the head, and getting stuck.

It was smoking for a little while due to the oil left over in the exhaust. Now its running smoke free.

Yea I can see that now. I was just frustrated, and not looking at what was right in front of me. Thanks for the response

The craziest thing just happened. I just disassembled the top end to see if I did anything wrong, and put it back together. Now it starts first pull. I have no idea what was wrong, or what happened. So confused. But I'm glad it's working now. Ajmboy thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it.

It was running fine before I changed the piston rings, it was just smoking. That's why I changed them. IMG_0646.MOV

I have a 2009 recon that I just replaced the piston rings on. It was running and smoking really bad, so I replaced the rings. I put everything back together now it won't start. It's getting fuel, compression, spark, and occasionally a backfire through the carb. If anyone could help, that would be awesome.
