Message: [QUOTE="James, post: 927558, member: 27207"] Erik, I am 99% certain I put oil (and enough of it to get 32:1) in the gas and the cooling system seemed fine. Sunny, The piston was melted some where the seizures happened, and the piston is not fractured, just grooved from where the aluminum stuck to the cylinder walls and then dug into the piston those last few strokes. I am pretty sure there isn't any aluminum on the plug but I'll check it again. I frequently have to back off the throttle just a touch and there would be many occassions where the throttle would be cracked back but I would still be on the gas. So following up on this theory, how would I get around that particular situation? I can probably get some pictures if anybody is interested. I just found this to be an interesting thing to look into as I thought I was doing everything right and this is the first motor I have messed up. Good (but expensive) learning experience if nothing else. [/QUOTE]
