    hi im new to this so ill try my best!
    A year ago i bought a 86 maxim 700 that wasn't running right hard to start not idling at all. cleaned out the carbs still same problems so i did a compression check and #2 was low wet check no different. pulled the head and the valves were leaking. ground them and put it back together no change. now its in pieces in my garage but i think i found my problem. the #2 piston has been welded back together and ground flat. 650 and 750 pistons wont work and yamaha has discontiued the pistons.

    I will have to take the engine apart but I would be happy to send it to you. Just email me your address. Shipping is your cost
