hi guys got bit of problem my flywheel does not turn when i have my glowplug in and when i use the pull start its abit stiff and when i take the glow plug out the flywheel seems fine , its not flooded and i allways use afterrun oil , I'm scatchin my head so need sum help.
 
So with the glow plug out it is fine....well it just sounds like the engine has a lot of compression then. Have you tried starting it? If an engine has a lot of compression it is normal for it to be difficult to turn the flywheel by hand. When trying to start it I would crack the glow plug a half turn to release a little pressure and see if it will start. If it starts just tighten the plug back up and go bash.
 
Too much after run oil will flood the engine.
I think you just need to pull it over a few times upside down to clear it out....with the plug out.
If that's not the problem then warm it up with mom's hair dryer.
 
tryed your ideas no look so ended up taking engine apart seemed when i moved the piston it would force shimes to rise apart from that was ok put it back together and it worked so still no idea wot was up with it.
