    The only other potion I see getting a regular run is ATF..

    Seafoam down the spark plug holes and let it sit a while, then start rocking the crank to break the rings loose. Make sure that cam's wel lubed too in case the sieze is there and not in the rings.

    It's a fuel/oil addative.

    I've heard of Marvel Mystery Oil used to unstuck seized engines, but not seafoam.

    It is worth considering Mouse Milk or Kroil in this particular use. Mouse Milk I've used more on smaller frozen delicate things, but I've used Kroil on some mightily bound things.

    pulled the spark plug and dumped Marvel Mystery Oil in it to let it

    Just curious, did you ever get this repaired? and if so what worked for you?

    Not yet. I have several other projects ahead of this one. I try the kickstarter about once a month to see if it is free, So far the kickstarter wont budge. I tried putting it in gear and rocking the bike back and forth. No luck. Looks like i can either try some other concoctions ( someone in another forum suggested CLR) or pull the motor and put it on the bench and start tearing it down. The bike itself is pretty rough overall. I am not sure it is worth a lot of effort or expence to rebuild.
