Blown up top end.
« on: February 23, 2015, 07:00:44 pm »
My uncle has a 92 lt250 and last time he rode it it ran perfect and he went to start it today and I won't start. He has low compression I think it was 90. How could it blow up when it's sitting there.

It wouldn't have blown up while sitting.   

Your bike can feel and run like a beast when lean.  Unfortunately it will often nuke your top end at the same time. 

Best thing to do is inspect the top for wear and air leaks.

2 strokes are cheap and easy to rebuild.

could have blown when trying to start it. Like broke a ring or something.

check the compression Wide open throttle , get a second reading with some drip of oïl in the cylinder spark plug hole. you should have minimum 140 psi .

if he did not let it warm up before he rode, it could have cold seized
