Question is can you change out a burnt piston on this 951 engine while the engine is still in the ski? Oil tank developed a leak while at the launch not at speed. Running a compression check this evening to see.
Yeah I tried it out and it is definitely 0.0000000% chance.
Found out the PO did not tell me they blocked off the oil pump and used mixed gas. That would have been good information. So it appears I will be pulling it down and see how many mm will clean it up.
Luckily we were not running it at speed. Just idling at the ramp. Friend of mine who owns a machine shop said he could clean up the cylinders for $80. I thinking about rolling the dice and doing it in the ski
Yes.Even if I have never pulled ski engine before? It’s a real bummer cause the ski was idling like a champ but it is what it is.
