need piston and sleeve
Is there anywhere else to get a piston and sleeve besides cenracing for my NT-16?
She started running really rich and cutting out on me. I noticed yesterday it was running hotter than normal even when I richened it up. When I stopped her I found out why. No compression. Tore it down. One side of the sleeve is worn down.

I would suggest getting the .18 piston, sleeve, connecting rod, piston pin and turn it into an .18. I did this and it worked great and got several gallons out of it. Even if you just repalce the stock piston/sleeve you should also replace the connecting rod it is cheap 5$ insurance.
When you do put in a new piston and sleeve remember to set the carb back to factory settings and re break in the motor.
