I have a yamaha 1986 G2 gas. the oil fill cap came off and blew oil out the filler tube.I checked the air filter and in was loaded with oil. usually this means a hole in the piston or broken rings.i did a compression test and it was 80 #s but didn't hold the preasure . Could it be something other than a piston problem? this is my first cart and i'm not familuar with them.any help would be appreacated thanks.; Guy

The only thing I can say is 80 psi is bad!! Correct me if I'm wrong but you should be around 125 at the lowest.

Does it still start and run?
The dip stick (before I got it) on my Kohler genset had lost its seal. Made a mess but it was OK. Not that uncommon on friction closed dipsticks.

Yes it runs. Well it did before I took the engine out.Realizing there was no magic valve that would cause this problem and be easy to fix, it had to be piston, or rings.The engine came out easy,however I have never taken this type of engine apart before.I'm used to oil pans.the piston looks good,as does the cylinder wall,so must be rings.Not having A manual I will do the obvious,Take it apart and hope for the best.Are there any booby-traps I should watch for or is it pretty much straight forward?Any special tools?If anyone knows where I could find A down-loadable manual that would be great.Thanks for all your help...
