It will be off to the one side of the intake port not dead center. Prevents the ring from getting hung up in the port

You said it bogs when you take off then once at speed it's fine if this is correct change your spring in your clutch.

Fingers crossed mate?Ive found another carb in my spares box, so im going to try this.
MAYBE theres a chance the two carbs ive tried, are duff. I doubt it but its worth a shot for 10 mins tinkering.
Otherwise, im going to swap the MCD lump i have into the car and see how it runs
That sucks but it will be something stupid no doubt?No joy with my spare carb. Just tried it now on lunch. The same.
Im beginning to think this engine is screwed now somehow.
I might see if i can swap the engines over later on.
Ive been thinking about a G270 for my MCD for a while given its 4wd, so the 230 can go in the FG and the MCD can have a new lump.
New plug on more than one occasionThat sucks but it will be something stupid no doubt?
The ring might be worn, crank seals or both. If the seals are gone the back of your flywheel or clutch housing inside will be black.
If you take the cylinder off and the case smells like an exhaust then the ring is worn.
Personally I'd rebuild it but I like playing with engines??
Have you tried a new spark plug?
No mate leaking exhaust gasket just makes a mess..lolJust pulled the engine now.
Looks as though there are too many deposits on the piston top to see an arrow. It's certainly not on the exhaust side
Managed to carefully clean the piston top. Definitely no arrow on the exhaust side which is the main thing. Looks as though its in correctly.
Ive taken the engine out of the MCD now but i don't have a 14mm socket to remove the clutch so i cant swap them over tonight.
I will try tomorrow.
The only other observation was the exhaust side of the engine was very oily.
Silly question, but is it possible that a poorly sealing exhaust manifold could be causing all this issues. I'm wondering if this is the case given how sensitive 2 strokes are to exhaust changes
Thought so. Stab in the dark lolNo mate leaking exhaust gasket just makes a mess..lol
Another thing, the arrow is supposed to be on the exhaust side
lol or he could just remove the piston pin, flip the piston, put the pin back, and bam, fixed.If the arrow is on carb side put the pipe on that side and carb on the other side. Ebay Racing Inc builds their motors kind of funky. You might want to try a Amazon racing motor, That Jeff guy that owns Amazon builds rockets to put sats into space, So his motors must fly!!!! lol
Sure sounds to me like low engine compresion. The op comment "compression feels good" doesn't cut it. You need to perform a real compression test with a gage. I always compression test a freshly broken in engine and log the psi # in my computer. Once i see in excess of a 20% drop in compression i know its time for a new ring.
