I am a bit shocked to say the least. I have been running my boat fri-mon with no problems. I even made a 20 mile run on Sunday. Come Monday afternoon i went from the dock to the launch about 2 miles away and it ran fine. I loaded up and got it home around 2100hrs. Monday i had cruised a big block of woods( im a forester ) and was toast while i got home so today i went to flush my motors.(I was in brackish and salt water) My kicker motor cranked right up and flushed as usual. As i hooked the muffs on the Johnson and turned the key i heard the start engage but nothing. pulled the cowl and watched it strike the flywheel but flywheel never moved. So i tried to turn it by hand and nothing. So i made sure it was in neutral and checked the prop. prop spins free. put it in gear and tried to spin the prop and couldn't bar over the motor even with all of my weight on the prop. Hooked a rope to flywheel and it moved a few inched after really pulling and then i couldn't get it to move again. I'm assuming the pistons are froze but i cant understand how. I pulled the plugs and sprayed some WD40 in block to hope it'll free up the cylinders (if this is the case) and ill let it set over night and try again tomorrow.
Could it be the gear case if the prop spins free in neutral? or am i thinking about it wrong. Or would this lead to the power head?
Cant someone please give suggestions and lead me into the right direction?
BTW when i pulled the plugs the bottom and middle plug was gummed just and little bit and these are new plugs as of 3 weeks ago. The motor has been ran about 8-10 times since installed.
