I currently have a motor that locked up with 500miles on it and NO indication of problems. Piston looks fine but crank won't move, didn't get hot just idled for 20 seconds then locked up, I'm thinking it might be a gear problem since the motor has minimal miles and has always been taken care of and stored in a heated shop etc. On inspection shows none of the usual signs, piston looks fine no cracks etc. but crank is locked up solid with no signs from the top end of heat or any other issue. I need a long block minus the starter,pipe,and carb. I want to be able to bolt my starter carb and pipe to it and be done. I'd even conside something bored with some mild porting but dependability is key! Anyone have one laying around they'd like to dump or know of a person with a complete engine I could buy? I'd even ship ths one to them as a core for exchange. All info appreciated! I'm not looking for a cheapo deal I'd pay a reasonable price as long as it was reputable and quality work. Thank you
