Yes indeed, I am splitting the case at ~150hrs. Oily spark plug and a wobbly piston says so.
I split my first case at the age of 12. This will be my second, ehmm, 29 years later... Early starter maybe, but no expert.
My then 50cc survived the new mains, so I am hopeful.
Shopping for parts, I wonder simply: OEM piston or otherwise. I´ve found Athena makes a kit, and there is a price difference I cannot ignore. Who else makes pistons for a ´02 501? What are your experiences?
Input would be most appreciated!
Of course there will be new mains and counterbalacer bearings/upgrade.
Come to think of it, can I fit the ´03 roller main bearings? Good or bad idea?
