had the car running great finally then today i go to ride around town.. got about 10ft then heard a TINK.... cart wouldn't go... turned it off and pushed it back....

later this afternoon jacked the cart up, took the motor out, tore it down... and found what the TINK was...

a piston ring had broke anddddddddd here's the results:

part of the piston broke off and landed in the crankcase.... LUCKILY the motor wouldn't turn over once the piece fell into the crankcase....

got a new piston en route... while it's all out going to coat the engine bay area and repaint the motor.. might as well

going to use about 6 cans of carb cleaner to deSLUDGE the motor too... that sucker hasn't been touched since 1984 it looks like!!!
