I tried starting a 1986 Suzuki 4hp and I could not pull the cord. I then tried turning the flywheel manuelly and it turns about 1 or 2 inches and then locks up. <br /><br />Is this motor shot? What can I do?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />My Limit
I'm currently rebuilding a suzi 4hp. It sounds like its the piston stuck in the bore. You will need to split the block for inspection. The cover on the cylinder head is a water jacket cover not a cylinder head. The power head should come off easily enough. has it been dunked or laid up for a long period ?
I took the flywheel off and found that a loose screw had become magnatized and was stuck under the flywheel preventing it from turning. I removed it and the motor ran great. 110 PSI on a compression test.<br /><br />Thanks
