No, the motor isn't siezed. I can rotate the crankshaft w/ the kickstart - it just won't fire. I'm out of town for the weekend but I'm going to go over it real good when I get home. Hopefully it's dried out by then.
So here's the deal: I don't think I've helped myself out w/ this situation much haha.
Stupid move #1: Like a week ago when I was adjusting the timing, I ditched the gasket for the cover. The p.o. had siliconed it on and I couldn't get it to seat properly so I just ditched it figuring it will never see rain anyways and I'll just get a new one... oops.
Stupid move #2: I was trying so hard to get it to start so I could get to work that the battery is near dead now
Will the kickstart still start it with no real charge in the battery?
You might want to check to make sure you installed your floats correctly.
What. Just because I installed the slides backwards doesn't mean I install
everything backwards. Lol - jk jk.
But anyways, that's where I'm at with it now. I really appreciate everyone's help. I'm pretty good with a wrench, but electrical
forget it.
Oh and thanks for the link gnarlycharlie! I had no idea about the inner workings of the accel. pump like that. I'll do that when I get home too. The diaphragm is fine - clean and flexible, but I didn't know I could give it further attention.
