Idiot used pipe cleaners as a piston stop

[EairthTree]

Instructions on how to remove the cylinder head here.Page 40.

 

 

 

Feel like I need slightly more in depth instructions, not sure what some of the lingo means.

[EairthTree]

Nah, think I will give it a miss as most use piston stops or rope and gather they work OK:001_rolleyes:

 

 

 

I would take the top end to get rid of all the debris, the steel bits would cause havoc with the bore and go very carefully refitting the rubber boot, I usually fit the rubber part and then the plastic support and clamp - it saves misaligning the impulse nipple.

 

 

 

I can't tell if this is a joke or not . Impulse nipples and rubber boots?

You need to get the cylinder off and clean the crankcase /fly wheel area out, the debris can get there through the transfer ports.

 

Ensure there is no wire in there or the ports, or it will likely wreck things on start up.

 

 

 

Ok, so I took the cylinder out, under that was I circular disc mounted on the ?.. Flywheel? On top of the disc was a nice green bit of fluff, score. Within the flywheel, upon turning it I see nothing down there.. But then my view is obstructed by it obviously..

 

Is it possible I've rectified my ingenious usage of pipe cleaners? [emoji1374]

Oh dear, I feel failure I'm the air, when you mess up the rebuild just send me the bits:001_rolleyes:

What I'm concerned about.. Well one yes, that the rebuild will be sound [emoji269][emoji16], but firstly the scoring on the piston, that I assume was made by the wire, it's left small grooves... I rubbed them, to break off any teeny filings. No serious damage though right?

 

Also I didn't lubricate the piston before setting it back in place (without a special tool). Ach I'm such a worried noob!

So how did you compress the ring? (without the special tool)

With my finger, was surprised my self. Git the whole thing seated nicely, then it snapped In Fairly easily actually.
