Yea, it was new cylinder, new piston, new rings, everything. It was an Italkit cylinder kit too, so I would think that would be a quality one.

Anyway, aside from the cylinder issues, the thing wasn't in the greatest shape anyway. I managed to get $300 for it, and now I'm putting that toward a new scooter. Hopefully the new owner can figure it out. (And yes I was honest about the problem when I sold it.)
