well, had some time today, and i tore the little beast apart.....ring was stuck in the piston...so it mustta got quite hot.
can't see any other damage though, and i've never seen the top of a piston so clean.....is that a sign she was running lean? i could read all the info off the top of the piston...strangest thing i've ever seen.....usually i've come across carbon build-up, but not on this one.
i'm gonna put a new piston and ring in her, gonna get reeds too incase she got real hot. hopefully that'll get the little monster back into business. still puzzles me though, if it was the ring...would it cause the bike to stall? i know it wouldn't start because it would be low in compression, but would it stall it?
just curious what you think.
thanks,
willy
