Hmm that's a bummer. I'm wondering HOW much compression it's getting though. How many miles does it have on it? The rings could be bad even though it feels like it has compression. :-\ And you're trying to start it without an airbox right? That would make sure that it's getting air. Basically the carb controls everything. You really have to be thorough when cleaning them out and disassemble every single thing.

I've seen TONS of bikes thrown away simply because of a dirty carb. It costs big bucks to have a mechanic get them going again! I'm working on some really complicated carbs at the moment. The bike was basically trash simply cause the carbs were completely neglected and in really bad shape. I'm just wondering how many miles are on your cylinder. 2 strokes don't last all that long.. but then again it's a Honda and they are the highest quality 2 stroke mopeds out there.
