Working on verifying top cylinder not firing and new issue popped up. The starter will pop up and then fly wheel will not spin. both are free, i can turn both starter and flywheel by hand, tried mallet on side of starter, it still stays up. Not sure if both are free why when I turn the key it acts like it is locked and will not start or even turn the flywheel yet can turn by hand.
