Piston gone.

Post by derick77 »

Hello all! a carb failure has cause piston number 3 to go boom! everything else is ok, the piton barrel is still smooth with no signs of damage, the head will need a skimming as it has broke the valves, but so far its looking quite lucky, Trying to find a piston head as the rod is still in good nick. Also trying to get 4 valves.

Could anyone point me in the right direction for a piston head and 4 valves? (Intake) cheers! now for the pictures!

Oh no that's horrible, just shows how easy one little thing can screw up the whole bike.

Sad times :-(
