So my 88 warrior won't start and I can't tell what's wrong. Things I've done;

Replaced starter
Replaced idler gear
Replace oil and filter
Replaced battery
Replaced clutch wire
Checked compression and is good
Checked spark and is good
Cleaned out and rebuilt carb

Would like any helpful advice on what to do at all. Don't know if the engine should sound like this or not. Please help!!!!!

Don't have sound on this computer, but what is the compression reading? Is the engine getting fuel? Have you checked the timing?
 
The compression read at around 150 psi when I did it, the engine is gettin fuel and I checked the timing twice. Dune racer what do you mean by set the valves?? Just wanna be sure on what I am doing. I do have a repair manual and feel like I know it by heart I've read it so much.
 
i dont know man thats a had one tell by the video.... you are getting fuel what about spark? you said you checked timing so not problems there..... unless you fucked it up then theres a problem. hahaha kidding dont internet punch me!!! hahah but anyways its only loud because the cover is not on and i just watched your video again and i dont see anything wrong the one way does what it should and everything looks good..... that being said i'm drunk and have no idea what i'm talking about i dont even know how i got here from facebook stalking my ex???? gen1 help me!!!

Why is it that I am called upon to help? You want me to feed you some of those great, foul mouthed, military rants? I bet thats it. Lol
 
Ok I can check the valves and make sure they're good. So as far as everyone can tell from the video it looks like its working correctly? That's the main thing I was curious about cause it sounded loud to me. Just to be sure I'm gonna take off the flywheel to check out everything inside. Also it does have spark. Thanks
 
Oh God please STOP! Unless you wanna bust a case, stop rolling the motor over without the cover! The cover holds the other end of that rod to keep it from Bouncing around. I learned that the hard way!

Spray some starter fluid in it, if it tries to start, its probably fuel related, if it back fires its timing/valve related , if nothing happens you have a week spark issue
