wow, never seen this before and almost missed it upon inspection...
yeah... I'm going through everything... replacing all gaskets, orings, pistons, rebuilding carbs and pulled stator to inspect it too... it was nice and rusty... got it cleaned up... i'm just waiting on parts now... they should be in tomorrow.

Werd up Fugly!!!!
Is that a crack behind all that mess and if so is it all the way through to the underside?
Possible water ingestion then cranking motor before knowing you had it full of water as we all do when out in the break before getting towed in.
Could have stressed the piston/rings long ago and Mr Murphy decided it was time and ring blowby spit it out the exaust port.....
The rings use the compression gasses on the upstroke on top, behind and bottom of the ring (as the piston comes to TDC) to push them against the bore properly seal (not forgetting a properly finished AND perfectly round bore)..... With that chunk gone you just lost any hope of compression!
Keep in mind the rings do get slammed pretty violently on the top and bottoms of the grooves and with wear you get ring flutter which can trash things as you now have hot gasses where they shouldn't and washing away lubricant for the piston.
Tsk tsk tsk... I told you homies a 3 month E box/ flywheel cover inspection should be implemented in your preventative maintenance schedule!
I guess this means the starter was good & the motor just wouldn't turn over?
wow, i'd say you got really lucky if it didn't mess up your jug or head!
are they cast for forged pistons slutty. i did that to a set off cast pistons from deto from to much compression and lean . what does the top off the piston look like did you say it was running like it had an air leak , if so it might off had one and leaned out enough for detonation
