Re: JOHNSON RUSTY PLUG
If you are saying the part of the spark plug that resides inside the motor was rusty, than that somewhat explains why it's not starting, or even turning over well, or at all.<br /><br />Sounds like water has found it's way into the cylinder and rusted the piston rings to the cylinder wall..<br /><br />If that's the case, it can't be good.<br /><br />Perhaps some light penetrating oil might get it free'ed up enought to spin over. But I would suspect that after being frozen (rusted) up for any lenth of time internal damages might have set in. (cylinder wall pitting and perhaps piston ring sticking, ect, ect)<br /><br />Of course if it's just a bit of rusty deposit, and you feel that no internal problems exist, it could be a head gasket or exhaust cover gasket that's causing it.
