So,,it was idlingand just died did it,,!.What does the kicker feel like when you kick it over,much compression or ba.Might be a problem with the auto mechanism that's on the cam,,"might be",,being a bit of a guess till I get more info.They do go bad on occasion though it seems strange it should suddenly pack up just after you got it.
You sure it's not just having gas trouble. If you opened up the pipe then the thing's going to be breathing different and will be leaned out without re-jetting.Shouldn't really expect to just swap mufflers around/pull bits off them and expect to not adjust the carb to compensate for the change.For a start put whatever parts you tore off the muffler back on and try starting it again.ie,,,eliminate the obvious

de-comp cable! disconnect that and then try kick it over, that will tell you if its got compression.

Hi mate,yeah i put the baffles back in last night,stil does not seem to be grabbing on the compression stroke.it was sold as a 1991,but from what ive gathered its actually a 1993,do they have auto de-comp aswell as the manual level!theres a strong click when it was getting the compression stroke,now it stil clicks but not on the compression stroke now!right side exaust valve.also need to find the right jetting settings for the open pipe setup,been diggin through the net forums to find this setup,but everyone has different setups for different applications

unhooked that first up mate,wondering if it being a 93 has auto de-comp aswell!hence the clicking noise

Also it was running strong before it was sitting idling then died,as it it would when you hit the kill switch.So unsure if it is the jetting,damn she sounded GOOD!for the minute or so haha
