Hi everyone.
I am in the process of rebuilding my Panther 500 engine. Engine wouldn’t turn on and it turns out that the compression was low. Thus, I’m tryin to resource a new piston ring set, either the (233-114-500) regular size, the chrome ring set (233-142-500), or the (237-142-500) .02 oversize ring set. Another option would be to also replace the piston and ring set (204-83).
I have searched far and wide with no luck. Trying to bring this engine back to life and better than new.
i have already surface prepped and painted it high high heat paint, replaced the coil, spark plug, points, gaskets, rebuilt the carburetor and verified that the condenser (capacitor) works.
I’ve had this engine since I was a kid with the intention of one day building a mini bike.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
