Hi
I am trying to get a friends 250ex running for him and it wont crank. The starter has been checked by a starter repair shop and is in working condition. The electrical system is in good shap, the starter will crank out of the engine and connected to the bikes wiring, so it looks as though there may be a problem in the engine. The quad sat for 2 years. The oil is good and I have pulled the spark plug out and put oil in the cylinder to make sure the rings are not stuck in the bore. I am very unfamiliar with this engine and was not sure if there was a way to turn the engine by hand to see if there is an engine problem or possibly a stuck clutch etc... I would hate to rip the whole motor down for something simple.
Any help or thought would be great
