The plugs are getting spark and gas is flowing. I don't know much about these motors. Is it possible it jumped timing? The bike turns over great but there isn't even an inkling that it will fire up. Help!

Did you do a compression test?
If so what are the numbers?. ..............lm

I'll check it tonight. I haven't seen my tester is years but a friend is going to stop by with his.

Don't think I mentioned this yet but... When I put the bike in gear (engine off of course) I can rotate the rear wheel easily.

Compression: Left side 160 psi right side 150 psi

The Big Bang was the chain breaking! Need to shop for one.

Got bike started on full choke but it won't stay running. Rebuild carb?

looks like I will become more familiar with this bike than I initially intended to.
