Hey all, I went to put on some new clutch shoes after about 2.5 weeks of no running. Once it was all tightened down and the piston stop was removed, I could not move the engine with my hand via the clutch very far. It turned maybe a 1/8 turn clockwise then stopped, and I couldn't pull the pull start. Once I take the head off I will inspect some more and report back. But in the unfortunate event that it is seized, what are some good/inexpensive replacements? Thanks in advance!
 
I cant see it being seized after A few weeks? Can you take the clutch off and see if it will turn.It might be something you have done.I have engines here that are ten years old and still move freely.

Yeh from 1 shelf to another....

Check your coil hasn't dropped, maybe take the plug out to release some pressure..
 
I'm not sure what it was, but I pulled the engine off the chassis and it spun freely. I just popped it back in and I'll test it tomorrow. Has to be the most curious experience I've had with an engine lol.
