I finally took the piston out. I have two casting numbers off it. First is HG405AM, also found 3238B. Anyone know who might have made this piston? The Hepolite number I've found doesn't look like it. But I could be wrong.

Thanks BEAMA for you help. I should have said I was in the states. My bad. I will probably be asking more question later on. I just pull her out of storage after many years. So loads of dust has built up. I will be spending the next few available days just cleaning her before any work is done.

Thanks for the reply. But since I'm in the states I can't talk to most folks you mentioned. I'll do an internet search on VINTAGE REBUILDS.

Please check on the OEM specs. on any type of internal engine part. I have a great contact with a major engine parts mfg here in the states.

Since you said you could, here gos.

Looking for oem style hand-grips. Where is the best please to get some online?

Compared the some pictures that I've seen my handle bar brake and clutch is different. Mine look like todays style. The pics. show them backwards. Are mine wrong? If so what what I need to replace them?

What is the OEM specs. on the piston and rings? I have a great connection on getting new ones made if I had specs.

As stated above. It's an issue with the valve seats. Newer engines that run on unleaded fuel have a harden seat. In older engines the lead in the fuel harden the seats over time. You should replace the seats with harden ones. Or use a fuel additive.
