kenDAWG Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Well had the carb off with reeds in place I've pushed the kick start down repeatedly and noticed the reeds don't open 1 bit and there covered in petrol. I belive Rings have worn, piston top is black as to be expected but there is only what I can describe as burning to a small part of the edge of piston on exhaust port side. No loose bits of metal or anything! Must admit the piston and rings I bought where cheap. I've snapped my 12mil spanner so couldn't take the cylinder off but I rubbed my finger around in there and couldn't feel any scratches etc....

finnerz89 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 What you thinking then? New reeds and rebuild the top end? Doesn't sound too bad! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
