RE: Engine lock up
well it sounds like it is in fact seized. you have tried to really yank the pull start right? if you cant get it free try to take the engine apart(starting with taking the head off) and make sure that its not just a metal shaving or something. if it is seized and not able to be fixed without buying a new piston and/or sleeve, email the company that makes the engine and tell them what happened. they should replace it.
