    WRT to frankr’s question, has the cylinder been subject to overheating ?

    I have 4 of the single-cyl Gale. All 4 have brown discoloring all around the jug. Three of them are locked up (one with a broken rod) and the remaining has 50 lbs compression.

    I expect #4 has stuck rings due to the high heat.
