78 Yamaha 175 Enduro. went thru the carb a few months ago and rode it. ran fine...mixer pump went out years ago so the gas and oil is manually mixed. Went to crank it today and you cant turn it over with the kick starter..Took out the plug..Same thing..Suggestions..Apparently sitting for 2-3 months the rings have stuck..

 

if its stuck your going to probably need to replace the rings and hone the cylinder.

 

You can try to pull your plug and squirt some WD40 or equvilent, let it sit than try to kickit over, Most likely will need to pull the jug to figure out if it is a top end or bottom end problem. If it kicks over with the jug off than you most likely just have to do a top end job. If it still doesn't move than rebuild time.

 

I guess so..Just looking for a easy, quick fix but I have been around long enough to know there is no such thing..........@ least I'm never that lucky..

 

I put Marvel Mystery oil in it today and will let it sit till tomorrow evening then try it.. Thanks

 

try stove oil or desiel if that dont work, if its been sitting for only 3months i doubt its the bottom end.

 

Thanks--tried it a few minutes ago and still no movement at all...

 

Sorry to say it, but time to pull the cylinder.

 

Try putting it in gear and rocking it back and forth.

 

I tried it in gear before I put the MMO in it but I haven't tried it since. I will though.. Reckon I would have any luck with removing the side cover and trying to turn the flywheel?
