Took a while but I got all the pieces.




Not real sure why but my rear piston came apart and that's all that broke.

Did you find the wrist pin clip? If not I would fish around with a telescoping magnet.

Yeah, that's not good.. JB Weld aint gonna help that.



Looking at the first pic, it looks like the piston burned down to the oil rings and said ***** it, i'm outta here..

To JMN1960.
Took the lower end hung it up side down and flushed it out with brake cleaner and air thru1/8"copper tubing 5 times. rolled it all around and feel good about it. I'm a poor boy and disabled my budget is limited. Scooter is our main transportation.

My feeling also, I ordered the timing window and it came after we had already left for Stugis mile266in CO. and my exhaust tik wasn't. At 70yrs. I'm not hearin anything like I used to.
