Title: another problem with polaris 50cc Post by: bruteforceski on December 27, 2007, 07:51:25 PM I got a big bore kit for my sons 50cc predator, for some reason I cant seem to get the jug to fit over the piston, it is so tight going on that i cracked one of the rings, this is the first time I have ever done this, it seemed easy enough when I took it a part. I got the piston on the crank just fine, what am I doing wrong? please help

and if you do manage to get it in there it will seize right away! you need to take it somewhere and have the piston/cylinder clearance checked! ;) Title: Re: another problem with polaris 50cc Post by: sykolincoln on January 02, 2008, 10:02:56 AM Isnt that a 2 stroke?? did you have the rings in the correct spot and not sitting on top of the aligning pins?? my fool freind killed a new set of rings and wedged his piston in his baster trying to make it fit and the rings went in the correct spot on his piston
