Default RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

I tried to run my engine today and see what RPM I would get with the smaller prop. It ran for a few minutes then quit. After some choice words I found it had no spark. Somehow my coil fried as I have no continuity in the secondary coil. I am gona have to switch the crank out to be able to use the new flywheel and ignition coil. Bad thing about that is I wont know if the old coil had a limiter in it. I may have to wait and do my ignition conversion before I go any farther. I was wanting to save that for the last test.

While tearing my engine down a inspecting I realized that I already had the zero gap rings with the notch to fit over the piston pin. My cylinder must be a little worn as i am getting a .019 gap on the top ring and a .017 gap on the bottom ring. I dont know if a new set would have a beter gap or if its my cylinder.

I checked all the parts places here and none have it in stock. I may have to look and see where there is a BIG R farm store closest.

Maybee tommorow I will get a chance to put it all back together with the new crank and do some more testing.
