What we first need to know does the engine even turn over.
The best way is to take the side cover off the left side and see if the crank
turns when you kick start it.
The engine could be stuck and the clutch slips allowing you to move the
kickstarter lever.
If the engine does turn over but there is no compression, then it is not so
good.
It could be a bent or stuck valve, a hole in the piston or blown head gasket or
even something as simple as
a bad sparkplug. or loose sparkplug.
But best to start with the simple thing first, a visual check to see if the
crankshaft turns.
Are you here in Portland OR?

OK here goes some random thoughts
New gas in tank, open drain screw on carb and drain some gas, both normal and
reserve position.
Hi rev at start is normally the carb slide in backwards or the cable is attached
wrong on the slide.
The bike will start and run without a battery (kick and push start) BUT if the
engine revs up the headlight will blow!!
To push start shift to 2nd, hold the shifter to desengage the clutch, get up to
speed and release the shifter.
Have you tried to test the spark? install a new plug?

I put some gas in my old second hand 83 c70 and tried to kick start..nothing
also I tried going downhill on neutral and switching to first gear..the wheels
would stop as if putting on the breaks..any ideas out there?
Still need to try electric starter, I still need a new battery!
a little background on bike:
bought it from a guy who said when he would start the bike it would rev to the
max so he told me to buy a new throttle cable. I inspected the carb and cable
assembly all looked fine.
I am no auto shop guy but believe I can fix this.
any info or advice would be greatly appreciated!
