Long time iBoat forum watcher, first time poster.
I’ve been trying to restore a family 1967 model 3701 Chrysler air cooled 3.5 hp outboard. Rebuilt carb, honed cylinder, new piston but just can’t find what the part is for the piston ring (2-1/16” bore x 1/16 width). I believe it’s the same as a West Bend model 510 piston for go-karts. Anyone on the interwebs know where to go to look up ring by dimension? I bought a 2A25260 ring set off eBay but it’s smaller than the piston head.... not going to work. I was tempted to reuse the old rings I took off until I snapped one.... pretty frustrated... 2 months (most of it waiting on USPS) into this and still no running motor
Please, please help.
