Ok- took all day to finish rebuilding my number 1 cylinder in my zxi and took it to the river for about an hour and didn't get too crazy with it - but maybe gave a little too much it final last seconds- it seized up and had to be towed about 6 miles downstream- got back to the lauch and threw a battery pack on it and it started right up- but ran pretty bad- took it home and #1 compression is nearly 0 again! --- one thing I couldn't figure out is on the intake manifold in the front of the engine there is a spot for a hose but I could find any thing to go to it??? My buddy told me it was prolly a vacuum line and to cap it and the guy who had the ski before prolly forgot to do that before and that was prolly the reason it burnt the piston to begin with - I even mixed some oil with the gas to avoid this whole problem-- any suggestions for the next rebuild?????
