Bought a snap on endoscope today, brilliant piece of kit,
spent a hour looking at the surface of the piston, cylinder head and bore surface without having to remove the cylinder head, level of clarity is superb, very little carbon build up, think its running too hot thou, going to jet up a bit
will be able to view the underside of the piston going through the inlet port
also able to view inside the chaincase through drain plugs etc
its quite revolting looking up your nose with one thou

.........from what i have read and seen the underside colour of the piston dome gives you the correct colour more than any other part for the right running temps. of your engine.......
You probably know already Dave.....

if you are running too rich, the piston crown will not get hot enough to burn a small patch of oil on the underside. If it is too lean, the piston temp gets high enough to burn a big patch. Look for a patch about the size of your finger nail, and brownish in color. This is how they tuned the 2 stroke GP bikes."Unquote"
