Anyone know where i can get a rebuild kit (carb o-rings and seals) bearings, piston/sleeve, crank... stuff like that?

I believe the engine is a CS Worlds, but I'm not entirely sure. There is a number etched onto the side of the engine block, but it doesn't seem to match anything RB has.

Anyone know of a definitive way to tell what kind of engine I have? Its got a black head, and says RB on one side, and CS on the other side of the block.

I'm having serious issues tuning the engine... The hsn was loose when I got the engine, plus it was missing a head bolt and i had to dig dirt out of the threads. I believe it has more issues than I know of because it seems to be very unpredictable. The flywheel was loose on the crank collet, so I tore that down and noticed the front side bearing seal is leaking. Nothing but problems with this so far.

Any ideas?

Edit: Here are some pics, maybe this will help.

Please size down those pics ASAP! They are wayyyyy too big for placing directly in the posts.
They should not be any larger than 640x480, but you can link to the larger images if you like. No problem there.

You can also email the manufacturer directly for info on that particular mill.

That is their site. You might be luck enough to own a modified ;)
 
Well, tore the engine down this evening and didnt like what I found.

The piston head is severly pitted, and the upper lip is chewed with tons of wear.

The connecting rod has tons of play into the piston head and just as bad on the crank side.

Looks like this engine is toast. I need a full rebuild kit (con rod, piston/sleeve) before I ever try to tune it again.

Guess I found my problem. :censored:
