I lost compression on one side, it was running lean on that side and now its not running at all on that side. You can guess as to the issues, but how bad is it to run on one cylinder? I need it to commute tomorrow (couple of miles). This may be a dumb question, but I'm asking anyway.
Can I run on a single cylinder?

I rode my 800 Summit out of the backcountry about 15 miles one time on one cylinder. The stock piston failed-the locating pin for the piston ring let loose and the ring worked its way around to the exhaust port, when it caught it took out the jug and the piston. We were way down in a canyon when it happened and the only other option was to rebuild the motor right there.
