Alright, after having my 2 XP's (Both not working) On craigslist for a couple days now, i decided to tear into one with the engine still in it - took of the head and found shavings of metal in the cylinder and i can't rotate it all the way around, the front piston gets stuck at the bottom, it is the cylinder that siezed - now here are my options
A) Sell them. Part of me wants a stand up.
B) When i bought the two, 1 worked, and 1 was in pieces. Now both don't work. I could bring them to the machine shop, and have the top end re-bored and get new pistons (I have a re-bored top end and new pistons for the other ski, probably put it on this one) and try to fire it up then after cleaning everything out well and getting proper oil and running premix - the oil injection is what screwed me over in the first place.
I'm considering option b because I'm 16 and don't have much to do this summer :ack:
Or will this ski need a complete rebuild - crank case and everything?
Thanks a bunch
