I've taken apart a lot of abused little engines, but I have never seen a Honda piston look like that before. They must have run it without oil for a long time. It acted like it was seized to start with, then the oil Mitch added allowed it to spin, sans compression of course. Thanks Mitch, good on ya for sticking with it!

She ran like brand new...after a few months she wanted something faster so we sold it for 1,500.00 all polished up and running like new...so Thank You my friend.

Mitch, I'm a little late revisiting your video series but I just want to say that I appreciate your tact and straightforward rebuild. Thank you for describing what is being done in an effective manner. Though I do not have hearing issues, I find that many rebuild channels spend far to much time focusing on the proverbial "sound" of things instead of explaining what they're doing. Your perspective as a man who cannot hear is unique and your approach to diagnostics is very enlightening. Keep being awesome. :)
