This standard 52mm piston requires a reusable cylinder. Inspect for:

Deep scoring or gouges
-

Visible damage above ports
⚠️ DIAGNOSE ROOT CAUSE FIRST
New piston will fail again if underlying issues aren't fixed:

Check for air leaks (crankshaft seals, intake boot)
-
Inspect carburetor for lean condition
-
Replace dirty air filter
