I've had engines/bikes stored in the garage for several years and then started and run OK when bought back to life ! No smoke or major issues. 1 Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 What was the readings the bike shop said the bike had?? How low was it? Was it comp or leak ? Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 when i got the 1100 engine for my ET the comp was down a bit and it smoked a tad, but after 500 miles the comp is up to a reasonable amount and no more smoke. yeah it had been standing for quite a while. Quote Link to comment

imago Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 For me it's a case of backing up a bit because it sounds like more than one issue if everything you're saying/being told is correct. So firstly, how do you know the 22k is correct? If you have that backed up then that's one set of issues, if it's just what it says on the clocks then you can add in another. If it is the correct mileage, and the low compression is on one cyl with blue smoke then I'd say stuck rings and/or it sat with moisture in the cyl. It's also worth noting that if the mileage is correct then the last 18 months was just the latest long layup. However that would have nothing to do with it not revving past 3k. If it was fine before the layup then that's a carb issue. As others have said, you need someone who knows what they're doing, and also doesn't depend on a laptop for diagnostics take a look at it. Get it running and revving properly, then give it a run up to temp (on the road not in the workshop) then have another compression test. 4 Quote Link to comment
gsxwill Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Agree with @imago, sort fuelling out and start from there! Are you running pods or standard airbox? Edited October 15, 2022 by gsxwill Interrupted by work half way through Quote Link to comment
