    340 turns over, got spark, won’t fire and run

    Bel Last summer we (me and my dad) took it apart and replaced the gaskets hoping that would fix it. I think I’m gonna get a 670 street avenger.

The WP pulley sits out further from the block than the crank. The previous guy put on some aftermarket fan. (I still have the original.) so, I’m...
