I have a brand new Pro Series Thunder Tiger .61 two stroke engine which binds fairly badly on the top half of the compression stroke. I have never started it and It came in a sealed plastic bag with no glow plug. I am afraid to turn it over as it seems to be too tight. I have added a very light oil but this does not help. I can't see any scratches on the piston. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.I bought it at a swap meet about two months ago,paid cash with no receipt so I doubt the Manufacture would take it back.
