[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 35625, member: 425"] So, I thought I'd check my reeds, since I hadn't even peeked at them since I bought this thing. Good thing too... They were mighty chipped... [IMG]http://www.donttripmusic.com/reed.jpg[/IMG] Also, once I had pulled off the reed cage and intake boot, I thought I'd have a look at the piston. Everything looked really nice from the intake port. Pulled out my Snap-On boroscope and checked out the piston head through the spark plug hole. Too rich I have decided. Probably because of the ripped reeds... For no apparent reason, I stuck my boroscope into the intake to check out the crank and bottom of the piston. Then I saw it. And quickly pulled the cylinder... [IMG]http://www.donttripmusic.com/pis1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.donttripmusic.com/pis2.jpg[/IMG] DOH!! :banghead: Doing my part in researching Ebay and Boyesen I've got the repair cost down to $218, shipped. :ride: WHAT A CATCH. I can't imagine how much further I could have gotten on this piston before the skirt let go. I would have been stranded miles and miles from the truck... :shocked: -BIG DAN:thumb: [/QUOTE]
