I bought a 96 KX80R6 2 stroke dirt bike and i think i might have locked the engine up. I was riding it today when it ran out of gas. The engine didn't die right away, it just kinda sputtered and slowely died. I pushed it back up to the garage and filled the tank with gas. I have been starting it by push starting it because the kick start lever is broke off. I tried to push start it again and the engine turned over but wouldn't respond when i gave it gas. I let it sit for about 2 hours and try it again. This time the engine didn't turn over. The back tire just locked up and i slid. I think when i ran it out of gas some junk that was floating in the bottom of the gas tank got sucked into the engine. Any advice would be greatly appriated!!
