Just bought an 04 3D from individual with 17 hours on it and a ``fresh```top end from Hi Mountain here in Billings, MT. went out to break in and after what I hought was very sluggish performance and 20 mins,it died. I was able to restart after some time and milk it back in where we examind plugs connections, etc. with no luck finally got it home and did a compression check warm and the no.1 cyl was 30 pounds and 2 was 127. The first overhaul was do to scoring of the no.1 piston, possible submerge. no.1 is dead again does anyone have a clue as to what might be happeneing if in fact there is another hole in the top of the piston. could there be a leak somewhe that is letting some amount of water into the cyl.. the hull was very dry after riding, so dont suspect any airbox ingestion. any ideas appreciated...

---CALL THEM and let them know about the PSI reading...or you can do a leak down test to see where the pressure is escaping to. Did they replace the piston in the rebuild or just the rings? hmmmm...
atriot:Yeah the Ski is back out at the shop, talked to them today and they said it appeared #1 was running lean but no damage to the piston and minor scarring to cyl (they think its possible to hone). they are going to do a leak down and see where the leak is and check for vacuum leak in the chamber. We'll see
