I pulled the engine on this non-running scoot and the top compression ring was missing(evidently somebody put it back together that way) from the piston. It was showing 30# compression! The cylinder is like new inside and the piston is perfect except for the upper edge of the top grove which has some erosion for approx. 3/4", with the groove still being quite capable of holding the ring well. Should this piston be reused? Anybody got one they did not put back to sell?
Also need , I need the front leg shield(it is cracked and I can repair it before I pay new$) and I am told the Chinese scoots like the vino are the same. I saw a Schwinn the other day and it was the same too.
The rear wheel splines are a bit loose with the wear confined to the wheel itself-how loose is loose? No doubt it will work for a good while the way it is-the outer edge of the tire might have a 1/16 to 1/8th" movement. Is there a way to tighten them?
