Hello Shadystyles
Hello all I just picked up a klt 200 for $175
Has weak compression.(It failed the thumb over the spark plug hole miserably) After dropping the engine and pulling the piston ,top end it looks good valves were looset. I'm guessing a hone job and some new rings for sure. I'm bringing to a local shop today to see what he says about a bore job. Where can I find oversize pistons and rings or just oversize rings for the stock piston? Anywhere besides eBay?
Looks mean nothing. If you can feel even the slightest irregularity [ridge] ¼” down from the top of the cylinder it must be rebored for proper ring seating.
You need to spray carb cleaner into intake port and look for it weeping around valve, repeat for intake, if it weeps it needs repair.
It will likely need a bore. All I know is ebay and xtremeusa.com, links below. Don’t buy a used one.

Hello all I just picked up a klt 200 for $175 it turns over when I cross the solenoid it has spark. Any tips on the the wiring it is a real mess from the previous owner there's more wire nuts than factory crimps.
The klt 160 wiring diagram in the link below may be the same, repair as necessary or buy good used harness or new harness.
