i just got my bbk installed on my 2 stroke vino 50 and now she wont start. before i installed the bbk, it ran amazing. now not so much as a fart. i have spark, i have compression and i have fuel in the carb. i upjetted my carb to a #80. i tried starting with and without the airbox on. i even tried some quick start in the carb. still nothing. any advice?

Check the vacuum line on the petcock . Make sure that's working . Give it a few "primes" and see what that does for you.

you said you tried some quick start im assumeing that is a starting fluid
if thats the case and it wont run on spary your issues are
spark
compresion
persoanly i would start with makeing sure the piston is installed properly
the rings are in the right order if its a 2 ring kit(some kits have an order for the rings)
that i removed all the origonal base gasket
nothing is stuck between the cyl and the engine
the head is properly installed

I just installed a new cylinder last week. I've done this job too many times to count. I was rushing, which I know just causes headaches, and didn't notice that I installed my base gasket upside down (blocking the top port and causing a massive leak. Managed to get it started before I figured out what was going on. Even us experienced guys make mistakes. Double check your install, and make sure that jet you put in was clean, and you didn't get any dust or dirt in the carb in the process.
