Looking pretty good so far. It ran more than 10 minutes. That's a good start.

Aight...got her all buttoned up this past Friday, with all the new parts and took her for a run on the street with no problems and she ran great for about 25 minutes(because I only filled up the tank 1/2 way).
Fast forward to today I take her out to the field to test her again and get 5 minutes of run in and she shuts down. I tried to start her up and there was no compression on the motor so i knew something was wrong. ?I noticed the plug was loose if that could have caused anything.

loose plug=no compression

I'm not sure if that would cause it. looks like detonation or a running wayy too lean.
Did you see the hole in his piston??loose plug=no compression

Nah hole in piston killed compression but when I took it apart I noticed I didn't tighten the plug last time I put her back together. I think my clunker was bad and causing it to lean out too many times and I think it wore a hole in the piston but today's bash sealed its fate?

?Was that caused by too much heat isolated in that one area ,it looks like it maybe drawing in cold air on a hot piston!.....
