Picco .26 rebuild

[icky2g]

I recently noticed a fuel leak coming some where near the head seal. So I pulled the head off to check things out and there are 3 gaskets on the head. Is this normal or did the kid I got it from play with things? Also how well do these things burn, does the piston carbon up like on my Race Scooter? Because I can see this one is pretty clean and its not boring at all on the sleeve.

not sure how many shimms are on the picco.26.... there called head shimms..
if your running rich I gess they could looked burned... or if the engine has been ran hot that MIGHT cause it..

not sure tho mine allways look new. also the top of the piston will have some carbon build up on it thats normal..

was your head bolts tight ?

I found a leak coming out of the carburetor and when I tried to take the carburetor out its stuck in even without the screw.

all you have todo is give the carb a twist while your pull... twist and pull,,
