[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 472613, member: 3278"] I bought this engine a while back and it ran only one time and was a bear to start. Lots of blow-by which on a 2-stroke is a killer. It sat for a while, then I disassembled it, then it sat for a while longer, then I diagnosed what had to be done. A friend of mine has access to a shop that can true and hone blind cylinders. He took the cylinder up to Tennessee and had that done. Brought it back a few months later. Then I measured the cylinder, then it sat for a while longer. Next step was getting a piston ring made for it. Not an easy venture however I have the luxury of being close to a great machine shop with an older master machinist that is tired of the same old stuff. When I brought him the old ring and told him what it was for his eyes lit up. A few weeks later I had a completed ring. From this point it was a simple task of making gaskets and assembling the rotating assembly again. Not much to one. It's not often a person gets the honors of bringing back a 107 year old piece of mechanical history. Anyway....if you are interested this is part of what I have been doing with our stay in place time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kVFGwRMBQs [/QUOTE]
