Im changing piston and jug and I cant get the wire clips back in place in the piston any help would be appreciated.
How do I get the gudgion pin clips back

I use a small pair of needle nose pliers to reinsert the wrist pin retaining clips.
Stuff rags around the hole in the engine block in case you drop it. You sure don't want it to fall inside the crank case. The clip sort of looks like this
...Grab the clip on the (a) part with the needle nose,and twist clockwise while pushing it into the groove.
Make sure you line up the end gap of the piston rings with the little pegs in the piston ring groove on the piston before you slide the jug down onto the engine.Lube the cylinder bore with some 2 stroke oil . Squeeze the rings with your fingers and carefully bring the jug down making sure the rings are lined up with the pegs.
It should slide down easily, if not stop and make sure the rings are right or you will snap a ring and score the cylinder walls.
It just takes a keen eye and some patience.
Best of luck
