Re: lesta newby after routes

Bad news
The chances are your piston is seized in the bore.
Most likely is the bore will be scored so you will need a rebore and new piston.

Re: no spark ..

Go through the basics first.
As has been mentioned the spark plug and lead
By-pass kill and side stand switches.
Then check all the connections behind the headlight and down along the frame.

The air gap is the measurement from the top of the oil to the top of the fork tube with the spring out and the fork ...

One suggestion I have from previous experience is that you let them sand blast the frame, pick up the frame and smooth any rough surfaces such as rust pitting with sand paper, then take ...
