This engine was ever so slightly stuck when I started out. Used a bar against the ring gear and it moved immediately. I mixed 16oz of 2 stroke and half a big bottle of marvel into a third of a gallon of gas. Shot it into the intake ports with a little pumper oil can to help lubricate those dry cylinders. This caused it to detonate, completely went away after i threw the lever up for compression release(cleared it out).

This is truly the first time its ran in at least 30 years, according to a tree growing around it.. judging by the empty containers ive seen in the house, it was probably parked some time in the 80's.

Ill have more updates within the week.
