      I picked up a PO15 that someone had converted to a cottage racer.

      A co worker grabbed it for me. When I got it, thought the powerhead was seized.

      However, took the jugs off, and the flywheel can rock a 1/2" or so back or forth smooth, then stop dead. That is the reason I took the jug off, thought there was something in the cylinder.

      Now wondering if the gearcase is seized? The prop wont budge a bit. Should I pull the gearcase to troubleshoot this? My first PO.

      The plugs in it are Bosch M4515, made in Australia? Two green stripes on em. First time I have seen these.

          Sounds like a stuck lower unit. I d open it up and check for damage.might just be a chip of a gear tooth.
