Ok, while riding my hobbit thinking everything was running awesome, just mid throttle….then I hear a weird poping, like a gasket leak….then as Im going up a hill, loss of power, then, SLAM, dead…bike comes to a dead stop , not running.

I take the head off and look, I blew a hole through the meatl gasket, dont ask me how…then I look at the piston and its scored on top in 2 spots as well as the cylander…the kit was only on ite 10th mile and Im running a 95 jet with 25: 1 mix.

THe scoring isnt bad, I mean, when you rub your finger over it , yoiu cant feel it…but the thing is, after I replaced the gasket it wtill wont start! Just coughing wierd unburned gas…

SO is it possible I blew a seal, or is the scoring worse that I think…and will keep it from running…

Any help is greatly appreciated, that thing was running strong!
