Bill Schwab is an unknown quantity at this point
One more thing Site. Most air cooled engines can run effectively with clearances of .009-.012 between the piston skirt and cylinder wall. If you get a new piston, and the wall can clean up without oversizing, this is another way to fix the problem.

So, deglaze the cylinder, get a new piston and rings, check the end clearance in the ring, and tolerance between the wall and piston, slap it back together and you should be ready to rock.
