Hello everyone,<br /><br />I have had this motor lying around for about 6 months waiting for me to give it a new trigger. <br /><br />Now it won't turn over. I removed the lower unit, still won't spin. (lower unit fine) I have had some PB Blaster soaking in it for about a week and a half. Still won't budge. I plan on using the wooden dowel trick I read about earlier. I am just being patient. I know I will get it freed up sooner or later. Any other suggestions to speed this up?<br /><br />I did a search on this topic. I read a couple of posts on some 9.9's with the same problem. A couple of suggestions for teardown and inspection of the bearings came up. I didn't want tear it down, but I don't want to fix this motor only to have it fail a week later. Suggestions?
