Riding out west, and I thought I burned down center piston. When I tore it apart, the center piston is burnt. Looks like it over heated (lean). The 1 thing I have a problem with, is their is a lot of rod side ways movement. Looks like 1 of the thrust washers is missing. I put a new crank, and 3 pistons in about 2500 miles ago. If there is a thrust washer missing, it did VERY little damage, but it does look like some brass colored pieces on top of the piston. There is some cylider damage too. This being my only 2 stroke sled, and a 2nd sled, what would you guys reccommend? This sled is an 02 Viper. No mods, take it out west 1 time a year (8000 ft). Anyone have parts CHEEP? 1 thing for sure when I put it back together, it will have a rear heatexchanger.
