Sky...you didn't perform an antopsy? I would have loved to taken a look at the innards just to see what let go. If you do, report back and let us in on the details.

I'm sorry for your loss, I am sure she is in a better place. I just rebuilt my carb and re-did a couple gaskets today on my engine. Maybe I should take pics next time because you never know how much time you really have : )

Glad your not badmouthing your motor. I think 6k of what you say are "hard miles" is a very good deal for the price. Sometimes I think we expect a little too much for $150 bucks. Remember you can get your next motor without the kit for under 100. Hope your back in the breeze soon.

I can only hope mine lasts half that long....you guys are right, I'm shooting for the end of next summer (got my 48cc Starfire in late July this year). Anything past that is great but not expected.
