don't get too worked up about it there's not a lot going on there. Here's a manual. It breaks down the parts for the king motor engine. It's the link at the top of the page.

don't hesitate to ask if you get stuck on something...

i rethreaded the cylinder reinstalling the head was tuff.the piston was so tight it a lot of force to fit.it so tight that movement is not free.its like it swelled ..i added 2 stroke oil before putting it together..don't have any idea what the problem is..

 

[DougStar]

When you put it together did you have the spark plug in?

 

[heraclitus7]

no .i screwed it in after cylinder head was mounted

 

[DougStar]

Dose it turn
Did you compress the ring to get in?

 

[heraclitus7]

yes
it turns but very tight and stiff ..i believe i compressed the ring properly..but i might be wrong

 

[DougStar]

And with out the plug

 

[heraclitus7]

i am going to check now

 

[DougStar]

 

[heraclitus7]

same way without the plug
im gonna take it apart again to see if the ring is not extended...thanks a lot..

 

[DougStar]

I would.....keep us posted

 

[heraclitus7]

thanks again..i will

Make sure the split in the ring is facing the carb side of the piston and the arrow on the piston is pointing towards the exhaust.

 

[heraclitus7]

Thanks I shall follow those instructions.waiting on delivery for new ring I jacked the o.e.

 

[DougStar]

So was the ring damaged?

 

[heraclitus7]

[DougStar]

Check the cylinder wall for deep scratches . The ring could have put some deep scratches into the cylinder wall if it was pinched between the piston skirt and the cylinder bore. If the cylinder was scored you'll probably need to replace the cylinder sadly. Oh did the piston get damaged at the groove where the ring popped out? A lot of things to look at .
