83 yz 100
« on: August 08, 2012, 12:07:00 AM »
i picked up a 83 yz 100 was told it just had a top end rebuild.  I was riding around a sand pit and it started to slowly lose power eventually just bogged out. im thinking maybe need a new piston or rod etc. any ideas would be greatly appreiciated.

The pressure is Basically gone. I pulled the top end off one of the gaskets were pretty worn out , a dowel was missing, the piston looks scored and the engine  was making a rattling sound before it shut off.

So the top end wasn't just done? It's amazing how many ads claim a fresh top end
