Well, basically my piston blew and my engine seized on me. I had been riding it for like an hour. There were little pieces of metal all in the engine and they dented the head and the piston surface. I am my own mechanic and I want to know if I can just replace the piston and rings? Or do i have to replace the piston and rings and bearings? Or do i have to replace the piston and rings, bearings, wristpin, ect... I am going to start ording the parts.
Oh! Can I wash the reed valve in water? They're all nasty? Can I wash the carburator? It's got a little bit of sand in it.
Thanks.
