1914 10C motor repairs
The little 10C we bought from Holland has not been running that well so after going through the basics we decided to pull the motor. The problem was quickly evident. Back in the day a repair was made which included adding a top to the piston. This may have been done to repair the piston crown, to make a ‘too small’ piston larger or even to alter compression but regardless, they used the wrong material and the damage is clear.
We have re-honed the cylinder, we have a piston we can use but we need to make some rings, then put her back together. Fortunately there is no other damage to the motor.
