Im new to motorcycles and I just got a 1978 Yamaha DT 175 Enduro, its pretty beat up but fixable, I hope. Well, I cleaned the carb and changing the battery/spark plug. Go to kick start it, and it comes back to life but only for a few minutes, then just dies. Don't know whats wrong, I changed the spark plug/plug cap/cleaned carb again but still no use. It kicks over but no spark. I know the fuel is alright, and there is good compression, so that leaves the electrical part. How to I check to see if nothing is damaged, (i.e. the CDI box or Ingition coil..?)? Or could it be the magneto? I am stumped and getting fustrated, any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
