Me and my wife at Wild Amimal Park San Diego
I tried to install the piston upgrade on my Makita 6401 to make it 79 cc.
I was able to remove the old piston and cylinder.
I installed the new piston and tried to install the cylinder.
I lubricated the cylinder and piston with two stroke oil.
I wasn't able to get the ring into the piston. I tried using a screwdriver to compress it no luck. I tried a hose clamp to try and compress it so I could push the cylinder over it no luck I would up breaking the piston ring.
So I need to order two rings [ one extra ] than try again.
I have a few questions
1] What size it the wrench for removing the cylinder screws ?
2] how much tork to tighten up the cylinder in inch pounds ?
3] Can I use the old gasket if it is in good shape ?
4] Is there a gasket for the exaust muffler to cylinder ?
5] How to I get the piston with ring in the cylinder ?
6] Does anyone have a shop repair manual in pdf ?
