[QUOTE="GYPSY400, post: 480706, member: 8599"] Try turning the flywheel in a few days to see if the engine itself frees up. You may have to put a socket on it rather than use the pull cord. If the prop, or driveshaft won't turn once apart from the main engine thats a whole different issue. The gears in the bottom end are seized too. If neither one frees up easily, I would consider finding a new motor and cut your losses now. These old motors are great for nostalgia, but require constant tinkering with skilled hands and lots of experience (a guy like Pappy). This being your first BBQ may leave a bad taste in your mouth... But yeah I get it, its a bad year to buy toys, and a real hard sell with the wife. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
