G'day Norm et al,
These motors are so tough but run on straight petrol soon damages them and if the main bearing have been damaged enough to allow the flywheel to touch the coil(i doubt this could happen) but if this is the case then the crank pin would also be damaged (not bent but the hardening damaged) and I have not seen new crank pins for sale, they may be but if you have to rebore,if you can still find somebody who can do it, small bore rebore places are thin on the ground now,new piston ,rings and bearings ,this motor will end up an expensive rebuild.
New OEM crankpins are available, ~$52, but you'd also need to make or buy [cringe] the special tool required to remove/fit it.
PowerTorque exchange rebored cylinders are available to the trade from GA Spares, and seem to run around $115 retail, including piston kit. These do need final cleaning before use; but that was the way Victa used to supply factory rebored barrels too!
There is however a $100 deposit/surcharge, if you don't supply a usable exchange core; i.e. it can't be already at max bore oversize, or have other damage that makes it permanently unserviceable.
