Hi.
My RD350 (2-stroke, 2-cylinder - for you young pups out there) had a sudden power loss on Sunday AM. I suspect (pending confirmation with a compression test - later this week) that I wiped one (both) cylinders due to running lean (due to restrictive gas filters?).
ANYWAY -
If the compression test shows low compression, that almost certainly means re-boring cylinders and new pistons.
Current pistons (if stock) are 64mm (I will verify when I open it up), bore will need to be to 64.25 or 64.50mm.
WHO in Houston can do this really well? Alternatively, who anywhere else in the US can do it really, really well?
THANKS
Neil
