Fly Wheel/Piston stuck at top dead center?
My piston/fly wheel is stuck at top dead center. I can turn it with my shaft start, but not by hand. It was running fine one day and now this the next. I couldn't start it at all.

If its a new engine then this might be normal, just needs breaking in, if not sounds like it might have run too lean and over heated

Well, somehow the piston developed a nick in it and ruined the sleeve and piston. Now I'm going to get an LRP Spec 3! Any one know here I can get one cheapest or have one you would be willing to sell?
