Restoring 30 year old 2 stroke bike (Suzuki Samurai)
​
Hi. I'm a beginner at repairing motorcycles but I'm very passionate. Recently I got a 1995 Suzuki Samurai 100cc 2 stroke bike from my uncle. It hasn't run for 10 years. Today I did basic things like remove the fuel tank, take out the carburetor and clean it and check the spark plug. While removing the carburetor lower cover I accidentally bent the overflow valve(which was made of brass). I didn't take it as a big issue as I researched it for a while and figured out if there are no cracks and it doesn't touch the floaters it should be good. Then I sprayed some CarbKleaner on it let it soak assembled it and put it back on the bike.
As the fuel tank was entirely rusted I couldn't use it. I just wanted to see the engine come back to life. I took a syringe and put in approx 50-60ml petrol directly into the carb and put in 2ml 2T oil. I pulled the choke and kicked it. First few kicks it sounded like it wanted to start. Third kick a loud asf bang or pop sound was heard from the exhaust.
After that engine went back to just compressions no starting sound. Sorry for such a long post, I just wanted to know am I doing things right. I assumed the pop was just a backfire. Tomorrow i am thinking of setting up a diy fuel tank so that the carb can have some constant fuel.
