Topic: Snapped Spark Advancer bolt in Crank

 I had some Marvel Mystery Oil kicking around I used on a 750 last winter with a light seizure from sitting before I bought it and seemed to do the job like the original poster is using.  Its the same color as acetone/tranny oil at least.

Thanks for the report, often we never hear how it was resolved.

Glad to share my experience in hopes it will help the next one in need of advice.

Happy to report there is Marvel Mystery oil everywhere, which can only mean the engine is no longer seized. She rotates just like before.

There's kind of a running joke/contest of who has the farthest squirt out the spark plug holes when the engine breaks loose. I think member Steve'o may hold the record.

Many years ago, when I was young and stupid, unlike now that I am old and stupid, I was trying to start an old Benly, with no success. Poured some fuel down the plug hole and had the plug alongside when I kicked it over. Stream of petrol came gushing out, plug fired and ignited it and shot this stream of flame that just happened to go straight into the petrol can which still had its lid off.  In a garage, no less. Ran like hell and waited for the inevitable, but nothing much happened apart from a fire in the petrol can. Ran over, screwed the lid on it and it eventually snuffed out; large calibre bullet dodged. If you were into special effects stunts you probably couldn't have arranged that.

LOL!
Was Doc Brown in the garage with you?

 My last big flame-out was a couple of years ago. My engine was pretty hot on a 750 and I was looking it over a little for some reason. Thought I saw what may be a cracked intake rubber manifold so started it up and grabbed a can of carb or brake cleaner, one or the two can't remember exactly and gave it a good shot to check for leaks when all of a sudden it turned into a flame ball.
   I now warn people if you use flammable stuff to check for leaks do not do it on a HOT engine if you like your eyebrows

I did it in reverse. Bought a cheap cbx750 that looked like it was used for farming. Took it to the carwash to hose it down with the presure washer first thing. Got back home, installed a battery to see if there was any life in it. Upon pressing the starter water flew sky high like a Vegas fountain because a sparkplug was missing
