Yes, that is a hole in the piston and you guessed it, it's the size of the exhaust valve.
Dang.... I thought they had a noninterferrence piston? My 200ERN does.... well.. it does now after your brother and I noticed it was turned around backwards and we place it in there in the correct position!
Is at least the lower end/crank good? I still got that other 200E motor here.... Oh... I got the 225DX started up... those petcocks leak some... hoping that the seals are just dried up a bit and once some fuel gets in there will seal up. The 225DX idles better, but dang... the gas just pours out of that carb! Which way did you adjust that float? hahhahhaha Thanks again man!
