So I traded a little 5 hp go kart that I got for free for a dirtbike I saw online and the bike seems to be in good condition but the boy told me that the bike needs a new set of piston rings a shifter and a kick start so i figured hell I can do it
so I took the trade and the bike has a nice set up it has pro circuit suspension a msr clutch and a racing carb
but needs alot more than I was told theres a little crack way beneath the kick start on the casing the piston looks bent on the edge on the bottom there seems to be a rough edge in one of the holes in the top end ill try and get a pic of the inside of the top end
What should I do try and replace the top end if it indeed is bad or should I change the piston and rings and see if it works out I dont want to wast money for good
Also I got the bike with the piston out so it has 0 compression in it for now will changing the piston and putting rings give it compression? Im new to this bike stuff
