So here is an update......I let the engine soak in acetone for about 20 minutes. When I got it out, I could turn in over with my hand on the crankshaft. I made sure all the acetone was dried out and then I got a little oil on my finger and wiped it over everything I could reach. While I was putting everything back together, I noticed that at the top of the stroke there was a little bit of of play before the crankshaft engaged the con rod again. This may be normal as the motor turns but it did not seem as fluid of a movement as I thought it would. Anyway I put everything back together and tried turning it over again. It turns over just fine but as i try to spin the propeller with a rod it doesnt act like I thought it would. I thought it would give me a little more flipping action than it does. I put a link to a video for yall to watch to see what I am describing. The problem is I really dont know what to expect because I have zero experience and no one around me knows anything about these engines either. So what do yall think? Is this motor worth moving forward with?
