Has anybody got a 3mb00 cylinder for sale?
-
I was told my top end was rebuild when i bouggt my bike but had no recipts (silly move)after four days of enjoying my first dt as I came to a round about at a normal pace I dropped a gear and it bogged and died,wouldn't fire back up walked her home whipped the head carb off and cleaned it
out tried again no joy,had a bright blue spark so had to be compression. New spark plug and a bump start later and it fired but wasn't healthy so whipped the head off and discovered the rings had melted to the piston (shitty pro x piston) ordered a new Makita one but am now left with a scrapped barrel which I would say is too far gone to fix the piston chewed it to shit. So looking for a standard cylinder in good shape to get me back going -
Prox are a good make, better than Mitaka (Not Makita lol they make tools). That Prox was likely to be a forged aluminium one, which is far superior than the cast ones supplied by Mitaka. But I ran Mitaka for years without any issues.
Rings don't just melt, there is definitely something wrong here and I would check this out before throwing a fresh piston and barrel out it.
Often you'll find it'll be down to fueling, lubrication and the like.
I find on forged components that the piston ring end gap is left for the user to spec out, so be sure you do that prior to fitting it all together.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!
