I was going to put a piston on my 1976 Hodaka 250 thunderdog last night, and the crank would not move. At all.
I pulled the jug a few motnhs ago, stuffed a rag in the motor around the crank, which turned fine when she was parked, and she sat inside a shed for the fall as I gathered my parts and the like. Looks like I took way too long. The motor had oil in it, and i KNOW it turned before.
She is currently sitting to the brim full of yamalube hoping it will free up.
Am I completely poked, or is there anything i can do (aside from pout, whine and pray) to free it up? I tried dropping it in a high gear and rocking the bike-nothing.
What sucks is that this is a nice clean origianl bike, that I got off the second owner in unreal shape for the age. The motor was on it's origianl bore, and still has original tires and everything.
Any thoughts?
