Well i moved up to a 70kit and i got told i might need to change my spark plug from a br8hs to a different type so that it dosent foil up as much or something for the larger oil amount, also the starter has very hard trouble trying to spin the engine over but will kick over and start first time, the starter used to work and will spin it when the sparkplug is off is this due to compression and either the battery or the motor has gone?

cheers guys

Most likely the battery - hook in a car battery with jump leads before you go any further.

edit - probably the guy said to use a hotter plug, replace the "8" with a "9" .
