Hi, I've managed to start the engine here today, but when I was trying to start it later, the engine is stuck, I can't pull the starter why not? it is something between the pullstarter and the clutch wheel, but what?
 
pull the glow plug out first then try it
if that does not work pull the motor and pull the pullstart and the one way bearing
 
I've tried the glowplug, but what did you mean with the other thing? pull the motor?
 
i think he is sayin your one way bearing may be bad....can you turn the engine over by turning the flywheel
 
No, I can't but I have bought a new 2.5 engine, but are missing some parts, they are on their way, but if I can't make this old 15. pro work before the new parts arrive, I'll just have to wait then...

Is there someway to fix it? without bying more parts?
 
I found out what it was, it was the piston, it's crushed peace of it under i, and the peaces have been smashed and stuck under the piston arm.... that engine is not going to run anymore I think...
 
Here is the broken engine:

And as you can see (if you can see it...), the piston will not work again, I think, or can I rund with the piston like that?

so your saying your broke your piston rod...yea...that will def not work....you could try getting a new sleeve, piston, and rod....but you may have bad bearings as well...probably best just to go with a new engine...
 
Yeah, I've got a new engine, and it was the piston head that's broke...

I'm just waiting for some parts that I'll need to install the new 2.5 engine. it will be here sometime next week I think...
