She did quite a number on it...broken sparkplug cap...lost the airbox cover. I'm enjoying the rebuild though. I may seem dumb but I learn quick.

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.

got a line on all the parts I need. Just a matter of getting the cash for it all.

Ran into a brick wall...my kingdom for a ball hone. My luck, no one around here sells them cept by mail order.

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.

what would be your suggestion Bear...brake cyl hone will do the same

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

here's an update. Modified a brake hone with larger stones. Works great. thanks again Bear. need to finish the honing take a mesurment and see if I can get oversized rings...this is pretty much a see if I can thing, I will be installing BBK later on.

I've honed out the cylinder start 1.536"...Honed 1.541". should I get oversized rings or use std rings. I can't find OS rings

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.

stock rings aand gasket set are on order. Will let everyone know how she runs after. Thanks for the help.

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!!!
