045 super died

[BrandonM]

I have a 045 super that has lost most of its compression. I was using it for about 15 min then shut it down to put fuel and bar oil in it. It won't start now and the compression is noticeably weaker. Should I hone the cylinder and put a new piston in it, 54mm right? Or should I buy a new cylinder and piston, if so will an 056 super cylinder and piston work? If anybody has these parts feel free to let me know. If anybody has the specs on an 045 super that would be great too. Thanks!
