I have a 066 red eye that has been sitting around for several years. It needs a jug and piston. I dug it out a month or so ago to see what it needed. I remove the jug, honed it, freed up the rings, cleaned the piston and put it back together. I simply wanted to see if it would start which it did. It will need a jug/piston, bar cover, and muffler cover. I cannot be certain of what else it may need. As for price it should be worth $200 plus shipping.

Bill, are you sure the jug is damaged beyond what can be ball honed out?

The piston was pretty bad. I would assume a complete jug and piston would be needed. I forgot to mention that the clutch end of the crank has a small piece broke off where the clip attaches to hold the drum. I have a different style clip on it now but I am not sure how well that will hold.

If it's still available, I'LL TAKE IT. I have a friend that sold one and has been kicking himself ever since.
