Schutzy:
Looks like time for a rebuild before I have a complete piston seizure!
When I first bought my bike it had a high hanging idle speed. It mostly went away after I cleaned the carb and adjusted the throttle cables. Now I have only put on a couple of hours on my bike in dirt trim and think riding any longer would be stupid without a rebuild. It started surging on deceleration and leaking more oil out the transmission seal.
Here's what the top of the piston through the exhaust port looks like and if you look close enough you can see a line on the intake side of the cylinder.
I took off the ignition cover and didn't see any signs of oil leakage or smells of gas etc, just a massive flywheel weight from A-Loop!

Yep... for a SM that flywheel has gotta go...
Post pics of that cylinder when you get it off..
