    lack of acceleration.

    apart from the sticky/worn rings problem, the kaminari has now decided to sulk once in a while. from cold, it goes quite well, occasionally once its warm, you have to feather the accelerator, or you get a lot of banging & popping before it picks up. i havent got the extra fuel line plumbed...

    rebore?

    due to my 36,000 mile "good" engine smoking like a bastard on the over-run, a strip down is in order. i have it on good authority that the oil rings gum up over time(the engine has been stood in the garage for a couple of years prior to going in the kaminari) so, if the worst turns out to be...
