Ryobi post mortem!

Well I finally got the clutch off and was able to separate piston from cylinder.

From what I have seen, the foreign object scenario looks most likely. See what you think - modified story here:

Looks like two incidents, the score on the intake side has been polished but the ones that took out the piston look fresher. Are you sure there is nothing missing from the carb or air cleaner?

Yup - I might check see if those prices are right...

(I suppose I ought to take the carb apart and see if I still have the same number of bits as shown in the diagram!)

Not having seen the inside of the carb prior to this dismantling its hard to tell. The air filter is just a bit of foam rubber the pushes into a recess - no frame or cages as such. I might take it apart and see if it matches the parts diagram.
