Anyone ?
I agree, it appears to have a Chen Yang 150cc engine on it, at least you know who made the engine, so maybe you can find parts. -

98 Bayou 220 low compression
And yes Gwbarm, I do want to get this going because I have another bayou 220 that runs great. And that way when I'm riding and have the wife sitting behind me telling me to slow down, if I get this running, then I can just say I didn't hear her and leave her in the dust 🤣- 1

98 Bayou 220 low compression
Yeah I'm leaning towards getting new piston, rings, valves and new gaskets. But I'm guessing I still need to remove the lip from the cylinder wall? -

98 Bayou 220 low compression
The measured clearance sounds like it's too much, but I'm thinking it will because the measurement was taken on the side of the piston rather than front. The pistons are oval and tapered. I think if it really had that much clearance it would have made horrible noises at start up and/or have busted the skirt off by now. I'm in NZ and parts are dear here, so I generally just replace things if they need replacing, but the economics are different over there and it might well be a better option to buy after market kit with barrel, piston, dudgeon pin, rings, perhaps gaskets. I'd always buy genuine rings if I was doing it. -

98 Bayou 220 low compression
Oh no those measurments are not necessary i just do them out of curiosity. The standard new piston to cylinder cleaarance is around.002 so not far off, not sure of the service limit on your machine. I did notice there are quite a few scratches on the piston on photo #3 they look fairly prominant but it may be the lighting hard to judge. Looking at the last photo the larger valve seems to be riding low in the seat which tells me the sealing surface may be quite worn, it does appear to be sealing good all the way around so maybe not a problem and it may be just Kawaski valve, but the smaller valve looks normal just carboned up. dont see too many of those Bayous, they are good machines, definately worth getting going. I would consider replacing the piston also you usually get a better deal on getting a matching piston and ring set anyway, just part of my OCD i feel like i get a better fit if piston and rings come from the same manufacturer, probaby not.
