No I don't believe so . My dad pretty much took apart the motor the only problem was a broken rod. Just in case we replaced both rods , rings and pistons. The cylinder didn't have a scatch on it. I've been checking the oil periodically. The motor is leaking a little bit from the drain plug , I plan on relaxing the plug this week. The dip stick says the oil is on the is right on the mark on the high side. This was my uncles cart till he broke the rod and I inherittes it. My guess is he ran it without oil because when I got it was bone dry. It only blows the smoke when it's on a steep hill and straining other than than it will run great.
