Thanks for the response I got the assembly manual for the engine and ordered a complete engine rebuild kit. The engine always had a loud rattle on it, loud enough my wife would not drive it around the campsite. I told her it was a 2 stroke and what did she expect. Upon removing the cylinder head, the entire piston skirt broke off. In the bottom of engine near the crank all the pieces were rattling around. My question now is what other things I should inspect/ replace when this far into the rebuild. The original complaint was the noise and at the end of the camping season I could not get it to start (figured it was the crank seals). I have replaced, the muffler, fuel pump, carburetor, any other suggestions?
