Here is a picture, the piston is the first oversize, 0.25.

Re: Honda PC50 Piston Kit

If I’m replacing the original piston, do I need to replace it with an over size like this one? I was told to replace the piston and cylinder so they match? Not to replace just the piston using the old cylinder?

I don't think the cylinders are available anymore so you would bore the next size up. I have pistons 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75. I might have original size as well. What is wrong with the bike that would require replacement of the piston?

Re: Honda PC50 Piston Kit

The piston has an engraving on the top of it that says 1.00? Would that be stock? I just figured since I have the engine completely taken apart I’d replace the piston, rings and cylinder to sorta rebuild it. Thank you for ur help!

Re: Honda PC50 Piston Kit

So ur saying what’s in it now shows 1.00, and to move up one size would be .25? What about replacing the cylinder at the same time? I was told to replace both so they’ll match, not to put a new piston in an old cylinder? Thank you

Hello, thank you for your help!! Ok, so one day I’m pedaling and riding my pc50, put it up for the night, had no problems. Next AM I pedal it down the driveway, flip the lever to start it and click, the engine locks and can’t pedal it or roll the moped? I flip it back, rolls and pedals, flip the lever, everything locks? Taken engine apart 4x, nothin broken, seized, or metal shavings? Ive replaced both countershaft and ratchet start springs and still locked. The piston looks ok, cylinder walls aren’t scored or burnt. I am pressed the decompression lever. Took engine compression head off and couldn’t pedals removed cam shaft, still stuck, removed cylinder head, was hard to hold piston and rotate pedals but it did pedal? So it seems piston is sticking? Not sure why bc the piston and cylinders walls look clean? Could the rings be stuck and not scoring the cylinder walls? Should I replace the rings only? If I replace the piston, what size do I need, do I have to rebore the cylinder if I do replace piston? My piston says 1.00 on the top. Can u tell by that how many times the cylinder has been bored? If I replace just the rings- what size rings do

I need? I really appreciate your help bc no one around here knows anything about mopeds, I was told by a scooter shop to throw the moped away bc it’s too old!! Seriously!! What idiots! Ok thx!!
