I have my ski at a my buddy's garage where they work on cars he has a mechanic who claims he worked on skis in the past and when you talk to him he really seems to know what he's talking about, the ski is back together and it won't start and it backfires sometimes ,the mechanic is telling me it's because of bad gas if that's the case why when he puts fresh gas in the carbs it still don't start I told him these are the same symptoms I had when I brought it to the garage ( backfiring , won't start , low compression ). I asked the mechanic to check the compression and his reply was the compression would still be pretty low because there is know oil in the cylinders yet because it hasn't started yet and the oil pump hasn't pumped any oil in yet is this guy full of shit ? And does anyone have any ideas why it might not start and what to try
