Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yzracer239" data-source="post: 96302" data-attributes="member: 12564"><p>Ive got a 1980? 610 with a wisconsin vh4d engine. I bought the machine last year running but never used due to pillow block bearings in terrible shape. Got all new bearings, driven sheave and shaft, new belt etc., put lots of time and $$$ and finally went to try to start for first time this summer. Other than a few times of a couple seconds or running, so I did hear it. It wouldnt stay running. I was going pretty heavy on the ether, but then gave up figuring id have to pull the carb to inspect and clean. With a week in between, I Did just that, disassembling everything possible, polishing all brass and making new cork gaskets. Put all back together and when tried to start, engine wouldnt turn. starter was engaging but motor was locked. Took my 24" channel locks and grabbed the side of drive sheave, and felt it come unstuck. You can turn the crankshaft as you should with the pliers but it stops solid at the same spot, only allowing most of a revolution?? I took spark plugs out and looked to be a bit of moisture on plugs. I think a bit of water made its way down exhaust over winter, being mostly or entirely responsible for engine not starting before pulling carb. Why wont my motor turn!?? Im scared I might have messed it up with ether, but what and how? Thought maybe timing chain skipped a tooth and valves were hitting piston but its a flat head! Please help!</p></blockquote><p></p>
