pistons clicking/low compression

[mpistel]

I was running all morn. i loaded up and went to lunch, then i decided to go back out. about 15 mins. into the ride out it started clicking. so i turned around and when i got back to the dock the motor stalled and the flywheel would not move forward. I lost compression in one cylinder. the motor clicks when i try to start it and does not fire. are my pistons damaged? its a 6 hp chrysler two stroke with two cylinders help????

Re: pistons clicking/low compression

i would not move the flywheel too much incase you have a broken ring or something in the cylinder.pull the plugs and look in there with a light and see what you can see.how do you know you dropped compression on 1 cylinder? you might have broke a rod.its hard to say intill you start getting in to the engine
