Coleman CT200u-ex quits on full throttle - stage 2

Probably only needs a new head gasket - Hopefully

Since the piston is already out of the cylinder - take the compression ring off the piston and put it 1" down into the cyl bore.
Square it up with the piston, Then using a feeler gauge check the PREG (piston ring end gap) measurement
Take PREG measurements in 3 spots top middle and bottom to check cyl bore

If the PREG is within specs ya know the cyl boar and rings are good and not the cause of low compression
Upon assembly, make sure the rings are clocked correctly
