i bought a trx 2.5 off craigslist and i can't seem to get it to start, i feel it doesn't have much compression but i am also comparing it to a 5.9 big block. my main question is that i bought a new piston and sleeve along with the o-ring kit for the carb, should i get anything else for rebuilding this motor and is there any tips for rebuilding it? i set everything to factory and it seems to wanna start but bogs instantly. installed a new glowplug yesterday but it didnt seem to help much. Its retarded but to get it to fire yesterday i pretty much had to flood the engine to the point that fuel was spitting out the carb. i left the glow plug on for 20 sec n then tried to start it. It fired up but went full throttle and then stalled. the fuel tank and lines are in good working order.
