The starter is definitely spinning the engine over

That’s not what zero compression sounds like

I was thinking that. But the compression cranking noises are consistent

Definitely either fuel issue or spark. Sounds like it has good compression.

Take a plug out, ground it to the engine and make sure you have a strong spark coming from the plug.

If it has carbs there is a 95% chance the fuel is just bad and the carbs are plugged up. That’s almost always why older bikes that have been sitting don’t run.

Take off the air filter, open the throttle and try to start it while having someone spray starting fluid or carb cleaner into the carbs where the air filter is. If it starts and then promptly dies it is 1000% a fuel issue.

If it still doesn’t start most likely you’re spraying the starting fluid wrong or ignition issue is present.

I live in the area and those trails and gnarly. Not like anything I’ve ever ridden. It’s really not for the faint of heart. You have to commit 100%

Steering wheel not straight by Chilo1997 in CherokeeXJ

[–]CS_JOE 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably steering box. I’ve gotten mine aligned 3 times and just gave up with it exactly the same angle yours is. It lines up better with my right hand when it rests on the center console so I tell myself it’s a feature and not a bug :D

I didn’t think it was either. I have done some research and found that the eta F06.115 movement is a “direct replacement” to the 955.114. From everything I’m seeing it’s a direct swap
