You most likely need to open it back up and get some pics. Worn out ring at least that may have finally lost all tension and collapsed into the piston ring groove on cooling. The electectronic box is there unless you removed it is under the recoil gapped to the flywheel like a one piece or...

If you can post some pictures and show between the bulkhead and cylinder it might help. The impulse grommets like to deform used and can either block the tube or fold over ane tear a leak. The intake pipes just get loose and leak with age after being removed.

Did you get a new impulse grommet and boot which they call impulse pipe and induction pipe? And did the carb screws tighten correctly into the white plastic bulkhead?...even being careful to line up with the old scfew threads in the plastic it is easy to go just a little too tight and have a...

Realized I am posting in an oil thread.... done now but interested in the results.

No can't argue that point

I used to lean your way quite a bit until ethanol came then I saw the oil issue hands on over again like when the first mbte fuels hit bet it was dry too. Nothin to hold back moisture during seasonal storage. Id get wore out too if my piston went like crazy in her cylinder with minimal amount...

Will it do anything with a shot of fuel down the plug hole?

Dang...now I retract my retraction. It may never be an issue for you but depending on conditions and application carbon may become a problem in a 2 cycle for you. Funny you mention 100 to 1 as I have torn down a few that people have run that and they were spotless clean but worn out...

The sound regulations are what had made the exhausts restrctive first and started the need for less oil the emissions issue came after the sound levels to a certain degree. And yes you can order less restrictive mufflers from other countries still for some 2 stroke products but this is ending...

Yes I edited that brain lapse in that post I meant just under

I never considered nor implied you were dumb. If you run 50 to 1 I retract my prediction. You will have more wear than if you used more oil. If I gave that impression it was not intended.....many people use more oil to reduce wear and it does in fact do that but there are trade offs with...

If you coul get it all to burn like a waste oil heater it would not be an issue as much.....more like slow roast the oil then get it real hot and see. Once the carbon becomes a solid instead of burning it becomes a problem

I'm Not really a good idea...wait until you get it sealed back up

I beg to differ....take a bunch of oils and heat them up over their flash points for a while and see whats leftover Meant just under flashpoint....derp

If you can reduce wear and not build up carbon is that not a good idea?

In certain instances of damage from carbon buildup would you not consider oil as a factor or just blame the fuel?

I apologize as I thought sure you were an old member razzing me. The tanks sometimes are loose and you need to seal them any way you can like the 385s sometimes.

How far did you push it in?

I meant the cylinder face doesn't look run on two of the pieces of ring but can see it on the third so must just be the orientation and lighting

The last pic showed it but figured from the piston top pics before you posted the intake side mark pic. Your first pic almost looks like pieces of new unrun ring in your hand
