Like Lee said "it looked as if he slammed his brakes on and i blasted past him". Blasted a hole in the piston, and all the debris ate the piston up like a fat kid on cake. I'm going through the troubleshooting to find the problem but my attention span is getting shorter. Maybe I'll take a short little trip and come back in a couple months....
My suspicion is a leaning of the gas. Since the carbs are brand new and I doubt the jets that incorrect to make that much damage. I took a look around the piston and ports and noticed the right side (still intact) had a nice coat of gas on the piston, piston rod and ports. The left side did not have a lot, just gray soot. So it something clogged the transfer ports...lean mixture. But WFT clogged it, and it ran for 300 miles before this happen.
It also could be a detonation, or a high temp problem or a weak piston? But I don't think any of these problems would cause a hole like this???
