[QUOTE="DiggerDr., post: 1270564, member: 88680"] Assuming it is not "stuck" do to no oil on the rings, remove spark plugs and squirt a little oil in the cylinders. If it turns and stops, chances are good that you have too much oil in there. If so, remove plugs and crank her over to blow out excessive oil. Prepare to have a smokey exhaust if so,. Crank her over to distribute the oil. If frozen, If will take some gentle back and forth persuasion and penetrating oil. If stuck, do not force it as you could break a piston ring or worse. Remember: Nothing in the engine or transmission has been lubricated in some time. Might be worth the time to shut it off when it starts and crank some more. Do not rev it at first. Take your time. You will be rewarded. [/QUOTE]
