I bought a gas engine at the Perry, GA swap meet two years ago. I believe it is a US engines 23 or 25cc. Name plate says USE Engines, Syracuse, NY, Model No. 257951, Serial No. 004786. USE Engines doesn't exist anymore. Engine has a walbro carb and runs OK. My problem is that I broke the piston ring while cleaning it and need another. I am having a hard time identifying a parts source. Piston diameter is approx 1 and 9/32" in diameter. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to proceed? Thanks much.

He has parts for the US 41, but I don't know about the US 25.

There is a fellow in New Mexico that makes piston rings for any engine. Unfortunately I don't remember his name. If some one on this system remembers it please let us know. If you still need it let me know and I will dig thru my past email list and find it.
