i was riding to college this morning, giving my bike some beans down a big hill got half way down and the bike started dying. and cut out. after rolling to the side of the busiest A road in maidstone, it started again, but even at full throttle it would only idle. i got it started again, it was revving exactly like when u first start it in the morning. spluterring and clearing out. then when it went back to idle it just dies. the recovery said a blown piston ring? any help would be nice
looks like ive got a fun afternoon ahead then. if worst comes to worst and i have killed it, dont spose anyone has a whole 180 engine they want to sell me? dont need carb, wheel or exhaust with it
expect the worst, anything else is a bonus. i have a nice collection of totaled 125 barrels sat on my shelf.
yeh im not expecting anything good, and considering everything went pete tong at about 80mph theres even less hope
Theres a new guy demongibbo just joined the forum... hes got an engine for sale....he cant post it up on the for sale section because he hasnt been on here long enough!!! its a 172 drag/runner engine.. dont know much about him or the engine but he just pm"d me and said to tell you all....beleive its on E-bay!!
couldnt see it on ebay. am looking 4 a 180 engine because it has the longer gearing as standard so i aint gna have to mess about with it too much, or have to mess about wiv a 172 n that. i can change everything over anyway.
