Ok,
I think there may be something with where the opening on the clip may be. Seems the opening should be at the top or bottom. (0 or 180 degree’s) This way, centrifical force cannot close the gap on the clip causing failure.
This from a new Cr 125 competitor who has had the VERY RARE piston ring end gap pin come loose. (new piston) Never encountered any damage on the Icc after several years of running? Just lucky? No parts available till August? (cylinder on back order) Hum?
Still seems a great package. Thanks for the outpouring of help with keeping our junk running! You can tune it. You can just run it.
First engine failure in 6 years. Probably a fluke.
All those years of loaning things out, without keeping track paid off this weekend. We were able to keep running after word got around the pits. Thanks Milnes.
Thanks,
Rick
