[QUOTE="chrispbrown27, post: 383157, member: 9661"] I stopped by yesterday evening to look the motor over. The bottom cylinder is locked up though I didn't put too much effort into it. I can see what appears to be a little bit of metal shavings in there. After talking to my uncle some more he told me that the mechanic said that when he tore it down it looked as if the cylinders were getting more oil. The said the cylinder walls, the pistons and the spark plugs were bone dry. The mechanic assumed that my uncle had failed to put oil in the gas, but after checking and making sure there was oil in the gas he was amazed that everything was so dry. What could have caused the cylinders to not be getting oiled up? I am remaining optimistic about the damage not being too bad, but until I get it home I can't be sure. As soon as I do get it home I will post some pictures and let you guys have a look at it. [/QUOTE]
