    Did the back wheel feel like it wanted to lock up at any point?
    this happened to me once when a crank went, the backwheel would skid or lockup for a split second before the clutch took over.

    sounds like a siezure, easiest option is to buy a new 172 but in some cases you can clean them up and get them running again but it's not the safest option.

    ok, if theres low compression and it spins verry easy on electric take the barrel out and look for mark's on the barrel. chances are its only rings. youd know about it if your piston jamed enuff to kill the barrel. if the piston run smooth you can reline the original barrel (prittysure beedspeed offer a relining service but know theres staff on this site that cona confirm this...) compression test will tell you whats going on. without ripping it to bits tho

    Hopefully your lucky like i was with my old speedfight, i bought it siezed but i wanted a quick test run and while i was bored i cleaned the piston up and got the rings out which were well stuck in, threw it back together and it ran fine, actually still managed to get 65mph out of it which for a 100cc standard speedfight is about right, after that i just chucked the 123cc kit in.
    If you want to be safe, just fork out the cash for a new 172, i remember you saying yours was quite old anyway, so with a new kit you might find it's a little bit nippier :cool:

    Beedspeed rebore but if it's nicosil lining then we can't do anything with it unfortunately.
    Didn't know you could get it relined?

    im pretty sure the 172 kits are not nicosil if they are they have a ver thin lining

    125 and 180 ones have nicolsil bores though

    wrong.. the 125/180 are iron sleeves where as the 172 is nicosil lined. the lining is less than 1/8th of a mm thick

    I don't really get this. It was setup by PSN so it would have been running "perfect"? Meaning if it siezed due to bad jetting or lack of oil it's their fault? :wtf:

    Mate you really need to get some pictures up of all the damage. It could still be PSN's fault.
