Re: Horrendous scraping when kicking over
Head off barrel off. Piston will not move beyond bottom dead centre. Bore and rings OK.
Gearbox casing off everything looks OK to me.

Re: Horrendous scraping when kicking over
getting confused now... 1) can you turn the engine by the flywheel with no problems (i.e. no noise or catching/ jamming)? Yes but only 1 revolutionthen it jams, turns back 1 rev then jams. 2) does it only catch/ jam/ scrape if you use the kick start? Chris Only scrapes when using kick start. Someti...

Horrendous scraping when kicking over
Can the head/barrel be taken off without removing the engine?

Re: Horrendous scraping when kicking over
No it's far more serious. Seems to me to be a broken ring or something. The scraping noise is only heard when using kick start though and the piston appears to move freely when turning the flywheel. It's going to need a strip down to see what it is and it's not something I'm relishing. When it does ...
