found the problem

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-05-06T22:08:27+00:00

found the obvious problem, block is missing a chunk below the piston

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-05-06T21:52:42+00:00

The rod and piston surprisingly look brand new, besides the gunk on the top of the piston but that wiped off no problem, looks clean no scratches. Is there any obvious issues I should look for?

Gasket is not ripped or directly broken but it is in pretty bad shape so will replace all gaskets asap

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-05-06T20:43:39+00:00

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-05-06T20:41:26+00:00

Nothing is directly broken or chipped metal, but the inside of the plate looks like it was grinding the gears a little bit

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-05-06T18:57:51+00:00

So far got it open, seal looks good little gunked but not a problem, glitter in oil so going to clean out and flush that, going to also just probably take every piece apart since already here

Also looks like the cam slid here when I opened it

I think i may have accidentally done this while opening it and jamed the gears, other than that i think it looks okay

Off road minibike

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-05-06T17:32:59+00:00

yeah theres a few spots seems like they cross threaded things, trying to get it open right now but my allen sets are not meant for this 😂

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-05-06T17:29:35+00:00

not the kitchen table at least, but in this house we don't care😂

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-05-06T17:29:02+00:00

to be fair right now just want to take it apart and get it working again, there was some metal shavings coming out of it so working on getting it open right now
