RE: wont start

hard time turning over?

could be a driveshaft bearing...

i do believe theres a grease fitting on that?
not sure tho...

undo the shaft and see how freely the motor spins without a load attached. if it spins right up, look at the packing and the bearing on the driveshaft.

if the motor is tight, the i would suggest unlinking the cams to determine whether its in the top or bottom end.. then, spend accordingly.. lo

may be a rod or crank bearing, but if theres no noise, i'd almost not even worry.. could be a spun bearing tho from oil starvation or water contamination...

spun bearings don't always make noise..

i hope its something easy man. good luck!

and welcome to KF!!!
