Thanks, whenever I'm back in town I will give it a go. Also, when we did our compression test, I do not believe we held the throttle open. Read that you are supposed to. Could this make the difference between the 150 psi I should supposedly be getting to the 50psi it read? Obviously I could...

Okay, I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes. We are almost at sea level. Houston

For that matter, the link seems too cheap. A new factory master cylinder will run me 209 without shipping

however, it does appear that that clutch line attaches differently to our slave cylinder, Im not sure if that would matter. our clutch line attatches from the top of the metal fitting like this, unlike the link. http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu1/kenramirez-chs/IMAG0750_zpsf3997a7d.jpg...

Thank you very much for all your help. It is greatly appreciated. Couple of answers to your questions. The slave cylinder is a brand new factory piece. When we picked up the bike he gave us the receipt to pick it up from the dealership. We have checked to see how far the slave cylinder...

Sorry for the rant haha. This is months of frustration built up over that thing haha. On a side note the thing is an absolute blast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvG_pI3t3uE

Yep. Using the factory master cylinder. We've bled it both from the master reservoir, by pumping and adding fluid before it got too low, then holding and opening the slave cyl valve, until no bubbles rose. Tried that many times, no success, So we went to a back bleed method. Borrowed a tool and...

So last year me and a friend did a homemade shifter kart build off of a chonda kart chasis with a 2s we picked out of 2000 ktm (spent ~1600). Anyway, when we got it the slave cyl on the clutch had been broken by a chain popping off. The guy we bought the bike from had included a brand new slave...

Thanks. It's 2000 Ktm exc 250 engine. 2 stroke.

Ya thats what we were think when we couldn't see the spark but we won't know until Friday when we can get back to it

I completely forgot about that. We will try it when we are home this weekend and see if it is sparking. If it is not does anyone have any idea why?

So we had the kart fired up last week before we sent it off to the machinist to do our exhaust and sprocket hub. While it was there he did some small things as well like a few braces and regrounded our coil. (It was more or less just hanging by a screw before. However now it will not fire up...

New update: chain is mounted! Just a Throttle cable and well have a test drive! Couldn't be more excited

Thanks guys. I had a machinist friend of mine make up a piece for our sprocket to work And weld us up our exhaust this weekend. Talked to him about the cable as well. He said the longest cable you can get is 70 inches from Harley and that it would work. Also he said he could make the ends...
