Replace sleeve and piston.
Does the motor start and run ?

options....1. pinch the sleeve... 2. put a new piston/sleeve in it.. 3. new engine, be it buying a os, xtm, etc. etc. or using the engine replacement program (better of then previous options, and go for the sh.18)

The STX is an older model that was sold when they were still part of the ATV Redcat. Do not believe it qualifies, but that would be up to RedCat.

Basically you give them your old motor, and they give you a new motor half off.
