The ped developed a bit of a rattle last week, after a good listen to the engine, we were sure it was piston slap. Wear to the piston, it's rings and probably the bore.
A quick look on eBay and a complete top end kit with gaskets was ordered.
£18 delivered ! Fantastic.
Took the bike to bits yesterday and the side skirts of the piston were black, indicating blow by.
The lower ring was seized in and the bore was scored.
An hour or so later the little stink machine was back together and running.
60/80 miles and it ll be run in.....
Now I'm wondering if the extra compression will give it a little more shove?
I kept the barrel kit at 49cc, cos I still think that bbk s are cheating !
