I bought a complete and clean vintage Great Vigors Tornado 1/8 4wd buggy. Problem is motor is seized up and won't turn. Clutch and drivetrain are AOK. This motor doesn't have any identifying marks outside of a 4 letter embossing that reads (roughly, hard to discern) from top to bottom, B R A T . Now this has the usual old school finned cylinder head that looks like an O.S. , or an OPS. It has that needle adjustment that sticks way out there a throwback to the aircraft style origins of these motors. It is a buggy motor, just don't recognize it.. Any help would be appreciated, as I could fire this up today, if I could free it up. I've flooded the carb and the top end with REM oil in the hopes that over time it might allow it to break free, albeit with force applied.
