  15. Will this piston off eBay fit 400723063509
  16. I've been offered an fs410 very cheap the guy says it looks like the pistons ceased guessing no 2 stroke here's how he described it. AFTER A BIT OF INVESTIGATION AND TAKING THE EXHAUST OF TO HAVE A LOOK IN SIDE IT LOOKS AS IF IT HAS BEEN RUN WITH TOO LITTLE OIL. THE PISTON RING IS SEIZED ON TO THE PISTON AND THE PISTON IS SCORED. IT IS HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE OPENING TO SEE THE BORE, IT LOOKS MARKED BUT HOW BAD I CAN'T TELL. IT MOVES EASILY AND YOU MAY GET AWAY WITH JUST PISTON AND RING AND WORST CASE SCENARIO WOULD BE A CYLINDER AS WELL. Shall I just walk away?
