Sorry to post this in the wrong section. I reposted it in the correct one, however I couldn't figure out how to delete this one or move it...
So I have a buddy who just tonight (12/17) went to go and start these two sleds, and they will not turn over. He's tried pulling both the cord and rocking the primary without the plugs in, and from the sound of it it won't budge. Sled has been sitting at least three years outside uncovered, both ran when it was put on the trailer last time. I told him to pull the plugs and check for shards on them, there was nothing on the plugs whatsoever, and to take a flashlight and check the tops of the pistons. My only advice for him was to put a couple ounces of oil (2-stroke) into each plug hole and let it sit over night, then see if it moves in the morning. I also told him if they don't take the pipe off and see if the pistons are scared or and check the skirts.
What else can we do to see if this sled will start or turn over without taking the motor apart?
