It was running fine, and I was told it suddenly stopped, and did not want to restart. After a few attempts it restarted, but would only go about 20 mph.
Removed the plugs and found one beat up, so did a compression check and found the front hole had zero compression, and the other two had about 130.
Took top end apart and found two holes/pistons perfect, but the one cylinder had the piston beat to hell along with the head. The cylinder had a few marks toward the bottom of the sleeve. Got a good used head off ebay, and getting the hole oversized with a new piston.
Thoughts on what caused, and what I should check before running again?
