Oh no!

[Jamezo]

Is there anyway that my bits of broken powervalve could have made it past the piston and made its way to where the crankshaft is?

Lol. Could they have? (I'd doubt it) I guess isn't not impossible that they could have gone out the exhaust port (in fact it's probably more than likely). Did you reconstruct the pieces to check for anything missing?


In any case, my condolences. What happened, were you covering the clutch eh?

4 stroke 250's might be more reliable but they put out less than the pope. Even the most modern wont beat a 20 year old 2stroke.

No ones bothered to make a high tuned 250 for years, theres no profit in it so the 2 strokes have no competition.

yeah a large part was mssng thats y the queston. (my eye button not useable)

Eek. I'd be checking the expansion chamber. I doubt a large piece could've made it through the fuel mixture-porty-thingy, to below the cylinder.

100000km on the original bores, one new set of rings. Crank seals and bearings last 30 to 40 years on average. Thats the life of a GOOD two stroke.

And yeah, I'm still not too chuffed about removeable heads.

If you MUST have a 4 stroke with all them extra bits, make it a side valve, much more reliable.

These puppies will never know the joy of owning a reliable,long lasting, 2 stroke

It shouldn't get into the bottom,the exhaust port is never open into the crankcase and the chances of it going down a transfer while the mixture's coming up are fairly slim.
Bloody Zookie powervalves, my mate bought a rgv 250 and had this happen a couple of weeks later too....dunno what idiot made 'em so when they fail they fall into the piston
