Hi guys,
Had an engine lock up on my China girl 80cc a few weeks ago.
On inspecting the damage,I found that the piston wrist pin/small end brg had collapsed and the piston was damaged although the cylinder bore was ok.
I ordered a replacement piston kit & have just fit.
I have now noticed that piston travel is too much and comes into contact with the head!
On checking the big end brg before & after doing job by checking freeplay with con rod movement,all seems ok?
I think maybe the crankshaft could be bent?
Anyone had a similar issue?
Cheers, Pete.
