Thank you for the input.

Reason for rebuild is that it has been in closet for 5 years. I have taken the motor off and pulled the head and all but the piston sleeve and connecting rod once before to let it soak once before after it had sat for a few years. That worked like a charm and i was able to dial it in and have some fun. Shortly after doing that is when it sat for another 5 years until the other day when i decided i wanted to take it out and get it going again.

I more so wanted to gain information on part availability before i took the head off and found that it was seized and/or full of corrosion so i know at that point what my options are. I guess it has to do with the fact that the first time it sat i was able to give a small pull on the start cord and it turned for me so i knew at that point that it should run with little to no work. This time i have tried to pull it and it really feels as if it is seized. I guess i will take the advice from the two of you and start off by opening it up and seeing what i'm dealing with first and stop being pessimistic about the situation at hand.

Thank you again! I will update the post either way with my findings tomorrow.
