You can find those things all day on ebay for the old 2-strokes

Ed: yeah I’ve got tons of pictures of my bikes, been thinking about starting up another blog or tumblr. I’ll let you know what happens with that.

The rattling is mainly at idle so maybe it is partially ring chatter. The piston is also a lot looser in the cylinder than what I’m used to seeing with the 4 strokes so I think that is contributing to it.

Does it sound like ring chatter? Thats fairly common in the old bigger 2-stroke singles. Advanced timing will cause it to happen more often and louder, but a little bit of ring chatter at stock timing is alright.
