If you are in the US, swing by a Western Autoâ„¢, Autozoneâ„¢ or the like - They actually lend those out for free!

That's both good and bad... the good part, you know what needs to be done to fix it... the bad, fixing it.  Might need to have new rings and redo the gaskets... worst case is boring the cylinder walls and getting a new piston.  However, would make it a nice 70cc with the right equip.

  New bucket for the 50cc?  If it came with a piston (with rings installed) and head, you are so set.  2-4 hours all up - easy.  No cam chain to deal with, and because it is so small you can use your hand to compress the piston rings!  LOL!

  Few items:
- Cross torque the head bolts when reassembling to prevent warping (just like you would on a 4 lug tire)
- USE A TORQUE WRENCH!!!!
- if you are upping displacement (50-70cc), you WILL need to at least rejet the carb.  You may even need a bigger carb.  Good News - It WILL be faster ;D
- For the first few tanks, add a little extra 2 stroke oil to the premix for breakin - Run the carb a lil rich too.

  If you need help or words of encouragement we're right here ;D
