Okay So my scooter is a Yamaha Neos 50cc ( Mina Horizontal) it just stopped starting the spark plug was black after kicking it randomly did this one day then it decided to start again But It Bogs when load is applied Like It Revs to max with the Back brake on but when i ride it down the road it boggs like a bitch never done it before New Spark Plug new Ht lead Cleaned Carb , Blown out jets etc Checked Reeds there fine Checked Rollers there fine Inlet manifold Has no Air Leaks Head Gasket is new Bikes frame is earthing fine Fuel Is fresh Fuel Tap is working Fuel is reaching the engine Hence why it Idles Fine and revs fine on the spot Im Doing my Level 1 mechanics And Sadly This is the first engine ive took apart Ive Took the Engine out the bike and got it on my bench Took off the Cylinder Some things ive noticed Some Heat Marks on the Piston No Scoring on the Barrel The Piston rings Move Side to side? Is this normal there VERY loose The Gasket Between the Cylinder Is Goosed not the Head Gasket the Cylinder Gasket? Dont know if its called that But yeah i guess it's losing Compression through there Is it worth Getting a New Barrel and Piston With Gaskets? Cheers
the gasket you are refering to is called the base gasket and yes, if this is leaking it will cause problems. a full top end gasket set shouldnt cost much so start by replacing the gaskets and see what it runs like then :good:
