Hi,
I gotta 95 Speedster - twin 657 Rotax. The port engine PTO cylinder is not firing.
Compression: 135psi Mag side, 25psi PTO side. :-(
I pulled the head and found that the mag side cylinder and head are wet/oily & the cyl wall is shiny and pretty smooth. The pto side is dry and moderately scored. I can noticeably "rock" both pistons from above with my fingers. Last time I ran it, I noticed the port engine maybe wasn't smoking as much as it shoulda.
My Plan:
1. Convert both engines to premix
2. Get a top-end rebuild like this one:
My Question:
What do ya think?
In general, is this a good plan.
Specifically, do I need to do more diagnosis to determine if the bottom end is worthy of a rebuilt top end?
Cheers,
Jeff
