What do I do now...????

[redhatman]

I am stuck in a sucky situation to say the least. I bought this blaster a couple weeks ago, rode it for about 30 minutes and ever since it has not ran. I found out its low compression. You can easily wobble the piston in the sleeve, the engine makes around 80psi for compression. :/

Here are some pics of the bore (already .060 over from previous owner from what I found out). Normally, you would be able to bore to next size and get a new piston. If you look close enough you can see the inner ring on the jug, on the sleeve that it is uneven on the sides. I am not sure how you screw up a bore like that, but I do not know what to do.



Here is the piston...ring is bent and piston has some gouges in it. rings would not move freely.





What should I do? I dont think the $100 for the gaskets and piston and such is worth it, plus the bore cost. That "slight" offcentered could be a huge problem and potentially ruin something. I really just want this thing to be running so i can ride it reliably. I am starting to regret buying it.

I am very tight on money. What is the best way to approach this?

have it bored to the next size or more and ride that puppy like u stole it

or u can go get a big bore kit from vitos which is a 240

I guess I am not sure that I see any logic behind doing that?

just make her go faster

I am not sure how any of these "suggestions" have to do with the topic at hand.

The bore is offcentered. I can get it bored out to .070 or to be even more safe, .080 over.

But I do not want to bore a sleeve that is offcentered.

jus fix it and ride it

scoop up a cylinder off ebay. probally cost you 100 bucks or so but its better than getting that bored.

^^ yeah what he said.

blasty cylinders are usually pretty cheap, you might even be able to find a near perfect stock one from someone that is getting a big bore kit. how do you know it's off center? that wear on the piston could have been from a contaminate or a badly shaped/sized piston. if the piston was to small to beging with its gonna do that to.

As far as eBay, with my luck I will get one that has the same problem.

For the offcentered topic, no matter what caused it the point still remains the same. The sleeve is tweaked.
