Thanks for the tips. Sorry I have been absent the last few days from this thread. My first child was born early Wednesday morning. Baby girl, 7.7 lbs, 21 inches. //end proud dad portion.
Got a chance to get out and work in the shop some today. Took noiseguy's advice to throw some two-stroke gas into the crank area to see if I could rinse anything out. Got several bits of the piston rings out of the bottom. Now it is free and rotates easily. Added some more 2 stroke oil back to it.
So do me a favor, go back to my flickr photos and look at the cylinder. I am really debating just finding a NOS piston and cylinder head to replace my busted ones and bolting the cylinder as-is back on. That plus new seals and maybe I will have the compression I need to get this thing started. I also plan to get the original carb and air box from motormike as soon as he messages me back.

Anything else I should take a look at before investing any money? Hoping that $300 worth of parts gets me back to running condition.
Thanks
