Mosquito fogger
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2013 6:36 pm
Last year I worked on a friends 250 Mototrans and it ran well after my tinkering.
As it's a collector bike for him, it is seldom used. He called me this week saying it smokes badly now. Yeah, like fog the garage out within a couple minutes!
Within the last 6 months the float and petcocks leaked and fuel washed down the cylinder and with it the oil film. As a result the piston corroded a bit and stuck the rings. I changed the oil which was diluted and ran it through a couple heat cycles to no avail. I have it apart and need a ring set as I had to break the oil ring to get it out as no amount of soaking or heating loosened it up.
Does anyone know what the part number for a std ring set is? Or which vender to contact?
Thanks in advance,
