Alternate Piston for 72 Kaw engine.

[jgravelin01]

I read somewhere on this forum that you can use a Yamaha pw50 piston and rings to replace the stock piston on a 72 with the kaw engine. I also think I read that some mods need to be made to do this though.
I would appreciate any info on this.

Or if anyone knows where I can get a replacement for the stock, let me know.

Thanks,

Jon

good luck buddy, i paid 162.00 for a brand new oem, still in original box, piston and rings off ebay, very hard to come by.

You gotta be kidding me. WHo would pay over $160 for a Kitty piston? Couldn't you find a machinist who would make one from billet for less?!

You can find them. I just sold a NOS piston with the crank for an A motor for $60. I found another I paid $40 for. LOOK
