: Piston return spring???

My engine is making a funny noise, my brother said it is probably the piston return spring. I am inclined to beleive him since the factory uses green springs when it assembles the motors, i think i should put purple springs in to help to get back down at high rpms.
Do i need to pull the head to do this? My brother says it should only take an afternoon to do.
TIA

piston return spring? i'm drawing a blank here. valve spring, piston pin, piston ring, rocker stoppers maybe? what exactly is a piston return spring fellas. i promise i'm not an idiot.

yeah...my muffler bearing looked like this when i replaced it:

damn...bad shape if you ask me...

but as far as the piston return springs...i'd say go for the reds...they have the most springular properties...

a word to the wise: replace those when you change the clutch belt...it will save you money and time in the long run.

Don't forget the blinker fluid. I always see monkeys neglect to change the blinker fluid when they swap muffler bearings.

That muffler bearing looks ok, but the muffler is shot. Make sure the clutch cylinder is full.

Cheers,

man..i never really get a good laugh out of internet things. But when someone said check the muffler bearing and then the next guy posted a pic of the muffler bearing..i started laughing my ass off. Now that is some funny shit.
