Just off the bat, I'm no dumby when it comes to vehicles, but this just drives me nuts. I have got a 1975 harley sx175 and it is a 2 cycle. Today I drained, and flushed all fluids then put in all new. Did the little things, just so it would run, but when I go to kick start it, it turns over but then jams. I took out the spark plug and kicked it over and the motor is NOT locked up, but while turning it over, every time I kicked, a thick mist of 2 cycle oil squirts out. I think the reason it "jams" is because after the first initial kick, too much oil is let in cylinder, in which there is way to much compression. Also everytime I take the spark plug out, the tip is dripping with oil. Now I do know the oil is added to the fuel automatically. I'm pretty sure its not a carb problem, but I may be wrong. Can ANYONE give advice, or explain to me how the oil system in these bikes work, so I can get an idea of what the issue is? Thanks
