Hi I'm really stumped with this one.
Engine seemed to be running fine. Took it off to put it on different mower.
When I went to start it it would not turn. Took plug out and checked brake was disengaged.
still needs a spanner to turn shaft. I can see piston moving and valves also move normally.
I really didn't want to take the engine apart as it seemed to be running so well.
Details Honda GXV140. GJAB-8054370.
Any ideas what could be wrong or what i should check?
Many thanks for your time.
