RE: OS .25 Max FP hard to turn over...
sounds like its been left with castor oil/fuel in the crankcase, if its already mounted in a plane it may be easier to fuel it and start it up with an electric starter, then leave it running low-mid throttle range and give it a few revs, this should clear out the castor oil and get everything moving the way it should again. (worked for my old OS MAX 35)
