The engine on this mower was locked up tight. (No oil)
I was going to put another engine on this base, but after reading a few threads on this site I had a go at trying to free it up.
I sat the mower with the plug hole up and poured in 2 stroke fuel, replaced the plug and started hitting the blade plate each way with a soft mallet.
It eventually started to move a little.
It slowly started to move more & more until it was unseized.
I pulled the starter and it fired because of the 2 stroke fuel id poured in.
My question is: should I run this engine for the first time with some 2 stroke mix for a while, before loading the engine up?

Happy is he who penetrates the mystery of things.
