so i got my 240 kit and I was getting to the end of running it in and it just died with no comp

mecanic took head of infront of me and it was all burnt astho there wasnt enough oil but i was using 32:1 ratio

lockilly the piston can be saved and its getting honed but what could have caused this to happen?

one of the reeds was loose maybe this?

thanks
 
well, could be the wrong jet.
I would go to your local stealership or parts store and pick up some bigger jets and try that out.
whats the biggestjet that comes with the vitos kit?
 
if i was you, ask someone on here what they are running for jets before you buy anything, and use that as a starting point, but i am betting you will need a 175 for your main
 
no leaks just flipped the reed and put it all together today with mecanic, its running gr8 just need to do the plug chop and then adjust the needle. hopefully it wont do it again, thanks guys :D btw I still dont know what caused it I just flipped the reeds around and its running spot on, and I adjusted needle so it runs rich.
