i pulled the plug after the heat seize. {right there on the side of the road.} didn't look to bad. not black but not more a brown look to it. but not in the lean way.

Also. i got everything cleaned up the best i could and got it all back together. it runs great. its just such a buzz kill to know it isn't going to last forever.

nothing wrong with it, just installed 19mm arreche carb and getting decent speeds, 55-60mph but it just doesnt feel like its in the powerband in the midrange.

Basically needs some more tuning and I just haven't had time lately so thats why I feel this way. :P

BTW, i got it back up and running today. it rides perfect. the cylinder was scored to *. but i guess my step dad and i did a good job. it runs just like when i first put it on. it seems a hair faster in reality.

i knew it was to good to be true. if my other mopeds weren't s*** i would offer those too but i know you wouldn't want those.
even if i had a dio your triton is worth allot more. plus you have a dio dont you?

so only damage is mirror? $15-20 for new mirror if aftermarket, probably $30 oem from honda, or like half that or less on ebay.
