the bottom of the piston is contacting the counterweights on the crankshaft. with the piston removed, I can grab the connecting rod and everything rotates smoothly. wtf?
my bg56c piston won't rotate beyond bdc unless i spin the flywheel in the opposite direction where it stops at bdc again. i put a new carb on because gas in the muffler and difficulty pulling the rope without wrist injury. is it worth fixing?
