some kid with a haggard lookin frankenstein of a bike had a seized top end. no money, no clue what kind of bike it even was, it had been pieced together out of
anything and everything just so he had some transportation.
so i pulled the jug off the rings are locked up in that piston about as tight as ive ever seen.
i eventualy worked them out and i was really suprised how clean they were. the thing must have just over heated. so i found a dremel bit the same size as the rings and re cut grooves for the rings in the piston, took some emery cloth and cleaned the piston up. put it back together and the thing runs. he says its got more compression and power than its ever had.
i honestly thought i was just humoring the kid and just gonna prove to him there is nothing i can do to fix it unless we can find out what it is and get a new piston.
if you coudl seen the look on my face when that thing fired up and ran.
