Garage Time: Dead Piston

I've had my buddy Andrew's P200 sitting in my garage for awhile now. (Too long... sorry Andrew!) He has owned it for awhile, but never got it running right. I took it, and did some basic troubleshooting, which in turn discovered more issues. After a new carb, new CDI, new clutch, new clutch seal, and some electrical wiring, it still wasn't running right. I finally got some time to tear into the motor this week. After pulling the top end, here was the piston. A dead duck! Crazy, but this thing still ran ok. Not great, but ok. Given the other things I've found so far, I'm just going to take the whole motor apart to inspect the rest of it. It should run nice when I'm done.
