Unfamiliar with the model but not dumb. If you need parts, there is always the WTB board. Those are common leftover parts from a build or part out.

You can
NOT use a ball hone on a 2 stroke, You will just break all the balls on the ports and scar up the cylinder walls and port openings.

The larger cylinder hone that is like the brake hone. The pads are long enough to straddle the ports.

I think std rings would be fine, you can get oversized rings from the honda man

Oversized rings require and oversized pistion and visa-versa, so use stock rings.

An update on my progress. While putting everything together I had stripped threads on the block so I had to drill and rethread the crank case. I got it all back together and had a hard time getting it to start. took another compression thes with WOT...still only 75psi. then I noticed fuel/oil dripping by the belt. Blown oil seal and also oil dripping from the oil pump. So...going to do a total tear down and replace all the seals and bearings. Also going to get a BBK for it.

It's been a while from the last update. Progress so far. Recived a 65cc BBK. I didn't really want to go bigger than that. Installed it with a #88 jet. Put it all together and as of now, it runs great. I won't take it over 35mph till it's broke in but ...wow...what a difference
almost threw me off!
Thanks everyone for your help and info!!!
