How did you tear it up ?
Dang Slabin you're looking old.
Why didn't you remove the 1 piston instead of tearing it all a part?
Going down the lake the other day motor fell on its face, Took the plugs out and the bottom spark plug electroide was bent. Put a camera in it and seen the piston was missing a chunk.Quote:

I have no clue how you would take just one piston out without tearing the motor down plus I plan on replacing all the pistonsQuote:

Do it right first time or don't bother. I know you would probably go to the auction and try to find a used part to put in it but that don't work for me.Quote:

Nope, we using blue painters tape cause it don't leave a residue and advertisement says it makes straighter lines. Which Slabbin needs all the help he can get in that area.:yikesQuote:

Had a bad injector in my Yamaha that caused it to pop. Expensive lessons learned

Speck, this is my opinion. It has a good bit of erosion on and in the area where it failed. Since it is carbureted and plug sets dead center of combustion chamber it's my opinion that it was a bad casting from factory. Weak spot on that one edge and it just slowly over the years eroded away untill that part finally gave way. That piece wasn't the first piece to break off. You can tell other small pieces have come off before. They just went out exhaust port without damaging anything. That day it quit on us the piece that came off went directly into the hole in combustion chamber, hit plug and closed it up then back through hole and out exhaust port. Only lost 20 psi compression on that cylinder. With a new plug it ran fine just slower out of the hole. Good thing he decided to pull it down though because another peice was about to break off. Amazingly not a spot on head or even dents in piston. Couple tinny scratches below exhaust port that won't hurt a thing. Can't hang your nail on them.Quote:
