@soverato3 Thanks.

Yes, mine has some slack in the direction the piston moves which it shouldn't.

[seaotterxxx]

Another question. Should there be a little slack in the needle bearing assembly? I'm trying to decide whether my 6hp needs new components.

[crispyspa]

@seaotterxxx end play (side to side) slack...yes, but not "up and down" (if that makes any sense)

[seaotterxxx]

Did you try to start it before the rebuild?

Just wondering what evidence was there that it needed tearing down ? Thanks

[crispyspa]

@seaotterxxx It had (what I thought) was low compression. Turns out that they never had high compression.

thats called a scavenging piston. good for torque and fuel economy .

I didn't know that. Now I know. Thanks for the Advise (in the P.M.) about installing the needle bearings...Grease pack them when assembling sounds easier than what I was going to try. LOL
