I rebuilt my motor last summer and it's been running fine ever since. Yesterday I rode for maybe 20 minutes before I decided to stop for lunch on the beach. I had my sandwich, checked the plugs for the heck of it, threw them back in, started it up, and proceeded to ride away. I got 15ft. out and I lost all power. It was running on one cylinder. I thought maybe I disturbed a plug wire and it needed to be trimmed. I pulled it back in and I had spark on both plugs. I checked compression and I had zero on the front cylinder.
The results: It appears the ring snagged the exhaust port. I pulled the entire motor down and I couldn't find a screw missing from the reeds, no carb screws missing, nothing. The crank appears to be fine. No metal was down there at all. It all went out the exhaust. I found a piece of ring in the pipe.
Gotta love it! :banghead::banghead:
