Piston choice for ts250/1

[DAVIDGUEST123]

Hi all.
I'm now at the point where I need to rebore a very tidy barrel purchased from ebay. The old one I had rebored to 3thou(iknow too big) had fins broken, so it's a bit of start from stratch. I have the barrel, I now know what size to do rebore it, all I need is a piston. 70.00mm for a second oversize will be the size, but I'm unsure where to buy from and which one (Almot K20) It all a bit confusing. This time I want it to be right. Thanks Dave

There are original GDR pistons available.

Hi again,
Wel lI've pulled the barrel off and it seems to be very different from the ebay one. I suspect I have an old ts250 rather than the 250/1. Question is will it fit. Although it has been rebored once the diameter is very different from the orginal, as shown in the pictures. It's a real shame as the 'new' one is in far better condition. As ever any infomation wil lbe greatly recived.
Many thanks Dave

Which one is the new one ?

Can you post pictures of the intake side ?

And how is the diameter of both ?

They both can be rebored as long as it is not already on its last oversize.

I do have a spare piston.. Used for only 50 miles. It was for an ETZ250 however..

I think it's 71 mm actually..

Would 0.05 mm clearence be to little for an Almot piston?
It would probably require a more careful/longer break in process.

Regardless, running-in should be done very carefully, and it's probably wise to have a look after, say, 500 miles. Not sure if the manual says something about that. Personally I like to mix richer during running-in, but I know the manual does not suggest that.

Yes it does. Though it doesn't explicitly mean oil. But more fuel = lower temp.

I am about to run in a TS125 with an Almot K20 piston, and have had the cylinder bored +0.03mm as per the MZ manual but now I'm starting to worry that this may be too little! Anyway its done now, and I will just need to be careful.

My real concern is what sort of 2T should I use? My instinct was to use the best quality, but I have read somewhere that modern fully synthetic oils are so efficient that the engine never runs in. So perhaps old fashioned mineral oil is best. Does anyone have an opinion?
