Paul, honing a straight fueled motor requires too much metal removal and honing is just not accurate enough, bore can end up out of round and out of true. Don't be fooled by discarded 2 strokes, bodies and wheels can be completely trashed, rusted out, but the motors are fine and have years of life left in them, put a new viton tipped needle in them and most will fire straight up.. Four strokes are usually dumped because the Briggs is dead, the reverse with the Victa, motors often good but body is trashed.
