[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 284793, member: 3278"] No, you cannot get away with just using oversized rings.............period! If .020 over pistons and rings are available use them. If not you may have to go .030 over. I would check that compression with another guage as well. First sign of lack of compression in a two stroke is that the idle quality goes away. You stated the engine idles. Lots of things can cause low power in a well worn engine. Would start with checking throttle blades and wot timing, etc. [/QUOTE]
