Good day, folks. RDE-19 journey continues:

I have the pull cord shroud off, and I am trying to get the flywheel to turn.

I believe it’s seized.

I have:

1.) spark plugs removed

2.) engine tilted forward

3.) marvel mystery oil into cylinders. Bottom cylinder seems to have piston in the way, so I can only put a little oil in before it overflows. Once filled the overflow / brim some clear marvel oil drips out of open housing (I have the lower gear case removed already).

It appears to be dribbling out the housing very slowly. I wipe it – and it comes back. So it’s contant.

Does this mean blown rings?

Worth continuing?

Am I on the right track to let this soak for days on end, trying to rotate the flywheel every few days?
