still unable to rotate the flywheel. 3 weeks of soaking did litlle
took out he head yesterday. Oddly as much as this engine got very little usage the piston heads were coated
with a crusty film of carbon. powerhead cavities also crusty with carbonMaybe to much oïl at break-in ?
watre chambers (jackets) extra clean
moderate blows with a round peg and hammer did nothing….but may have jarred the rings bit.
I can see the top ring after scrapping around the piston with a pointy wood skeewer pick. No rust whatsoeverFlooded the 2 cyl. with penetrating oïl for another week. Both are just above the exhaust ports
with try warning things up with a heat gun next.
I hope it loosens up …I did pay $50 😆

May 21, 2015 at 7:04 pm #16614I’m assuming you have removed the gearcase to ensure it is not froze up…
I like your plan about removing the intake manifold, that might answer some questions. I would be real careful trying heat to free up the powerhead, that may create more problems. This powerhead should probably come apart if it is stuck this good. You will probably do more damage if you get it freed up and then run it that way.
Sure hope I am wrong and that you find a simple explanation!
