Hey guys,

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 ...

You can see pics of the head and piston here.

I also added pics of the cylinder. Does it look bad? The ports are chipped a little but I am hoping the bore ...

The crank will rotate ok and I can feel what I would say is a magnetic pull as it goes around. Then it gets stuck as it rotates. Probably something in there. I will try dumping 2-stroke gas through it and see what comes out.

The crank does have a fair amount of play from left to right across the ...

How do you remove the flywheel without the "rotor puller" that the manual mentions? Looked around for some advice on this and couldn't find anything. Can you still even buy that tool?

Thanks

Trash in the bearings sounds worse than the magnet. Should I tear into that part of the engine or wait and see if it affects anything?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick replies guys.

The head was dinged up just like the piston. Little gashed spots and nail holes. May just grab one off of ebay unless someone here has a decent one.

Question about the crank. Cleaned out the variator today and noticed that at certain points the crank tends to ...

Will the piston you linked work? It says something about a Suzuki. Thanks again by the way for all this help. It really is appreciated so much!

If I am getting the cylinder head bored as well, would it hurt to go with an ebay used head? A new one is $75. I hesitate not to go ahead and spend that ...

So the head needs to come with me then. I take it any machine shop that works on powersports will know to do the head as well.

Anyone know where to get gaskets for all this stuff?

Thanks

Does this require a new cylinder head for the new piston size? If so, where would I get one?

Thanks,

The shop manual says the Aero 125 standard bore and stroke are 55x52.4mm. Do I just get the 55.50 piston for the CR125 and bore out to 55.5.

The listed stroke for these pistons is 50mm. Does that affect anything?

Which of the 4 or 5 that pop up would I want?

What else besides boring out the ...

If I bore it out do I need a different cylinder head to compensate?

What is the process for boring out a cylinder? I would have a machinist in town do it but I am wondering if it will fix the chipped ports or not. The walls are intact but the ports look a bit suspect. Would the bore fix that?

What ...

Maybe I should have! Couldn't pass up a good deal though. And right in my hometown, just down the street. That rarely happens.

Any suggestions to my previous questions? I would love to see this thing running soon!

Hi all.

First time poster. Just picked up an Aero 125 last week for $200 bucks. Doesn't run but the owner claims it did in January. We'll see. Cleaned out the carb, new spark plug, but nothing happens when trying to start. Then I did a compression test. 50 psi. :sad:

So I figure it is time to ...
