The guy I bought it from had been running it without an air filter at all. I am going to open up the case because I know there are chunks of piston inside there. I just don't have the tool to remove the magneto.
I do think most of the damage was caused by me. Just glad I got the bike as cheap as I did.

Why would you do something that stupid? It's called a "DIRT" bike for a reason.
We are all here to help however we can. I'm in mid Michigan willing to help if you're nearby.
littlewing78:
Thanks for all your help. I am in Utah. Time to start doing some side work so I can afford to fix this thing now.
littlewing78:
How much of a difference do the power valves make? Started cleaning things up and found that they were stuck closed. They had so much gunk built up on them they would not move. I did manage to get everything out and cleaned up. Now everything moves freely.
Goat:
If they were blocked off by gunk then compression should have been better. They are set up from the factory to let some compression blow by for easier starting. There is a bolt mod you can do to fix that. I'll see if I can find the post for that small mod if you like.
