So I am new to this forum and to these machines. I have much experience on sleds and boat motors ect but am not as well versed in this area. So here is the story.
bought used in the fall with 3500 miles. The starter was giving problem not working all the time but pull start worked fine. I disconected the electrical off the starter as I did test it and it is was done(short to ground) Put it away and ordered a starter.
Went to start it yesterday and grabbed pull start and was tuff too pull.
Pull starter wouldn't rewind and sounded tight in motor.

Sounded like pistons or crank to me ?

I will take it apart tonight and I ordered a manual today

my Questions are as follows are there problems with these motors are things I should look out for ?
Is there a manual on line ?

Thanks any help would be great
