I purchased one of these new about 7 years ago. I ran it a few times and traded it to a freind. A couple years ago, I purchased it back along with another engine he aquired. I pulled these out the other day to inspect and it appears both are siezed from sitting so long and not being cared for!!! Currently they are soaking in solvent to free them back up. I will post progress as I make it. These are some of the best running engines out there, cant wait to get them sorted again!!!

Oh man, that sucks. I hope and I’m sure you will get them going again. They are great looking and I still want one of those engines one day
