Default Motor locking at botom dead center!!!??? HELP!!

The title says it all. It's an LRP Spec 3 with less than a gallon of 25%. Motor and tank run dry when put up. I thought It was the pull start stuck. so, I replaced it with a spin start. Finnaly figured out it's sticking at botom dead, or there abouts. tried several times to spray WD40 and run it with the plug out. It would some, mostly would stick, and i'd have to manually crank it over. It would start for a short time, but while in mid range RPM, snap... stall and stuck

Thanks

JOSH
