I did this once too. Had a motorcycle ignition that advanced with increase in rpm. I saw first hand what it meant to burn a piston. Except it was a one cylinder 125 and stopped. Let's see some pictures? Not quite sure how the circumference comes off? You coukld always have the pistons penetrant inspected before assembly if you think it could be faulty manufacturing.

How do the reeds look?????

Just got in after a dusty day....Had to blast rock for a swimming pool in a hillside....Fire in the Hole!

After honey do list, (cutting one piece of Oak plywood) and epoxying it to the side of some file cabinets, I will start the arduous task of disassembly.

I thought reeds the first thing, and could not see far enough in after I yanked the carb on the shore.

It amazes me the bore is as clean as it is if it in fact sucked a reed... We're running steelies.

Will post after photos...Thanks thus far gang! I ordered pistons, bearings, gaskets, reeds and stops...Should be here the end of the week.

Floyd's machine tool, greatest 2 stroke borer in existence can run a hone through and hopefully we are still within spec...If not, I got a few blocks on the shelf....

The new OMC pistons are poor at best I know of two oacasions that the ring locking pin came out and ate the sleeve. Bomer changed vendors I guess for cost wise and its down hill from there. From the grape vine I hear that in the near future they are going to quit making alot of parts for the OMC 15. You can no longer get the little plastic thingy for the throtle linkage.

Ding Ding Ding!!!!

Carl was right. I took the motor apart last night....One of the reed stops broke off just above the screw and sucked itself in....

As it went in, the rods broke it apart so pieces went in both holes.

Hammered up the front cover of the block, both pistons, made a few microscopic marks on the rod caps, destroyed a brand new cylinder head.

So, off to the machine shop with another block and set of pistons Monday.

I have to resize pictures, so, don't have time for that right now, I'll post them later.

Anyone know of a good used legal cylinder head for sale?

Skoontz - This one is currently listed on E-bay and is located on the left coast. Looks like a salt water engine so beware.

#1 Entering turn, Steve Wilde chasing
#2, moving closer to the turn
#3 into the turn...Anyone bring soap on the rope?

It is so refreshing seeing her get into the action rather than letting up and having it run away from her!
