Having the shitvic fixed up at a local shop, they call me up

“hey i’m trying to set the motor to TDC and it doesn’t really want to move, what do u want me to do ?”

year and a half…sat in the garage…my old mani cracked so i was waiting for the replacement to be made, then winter hit, then i stopped caring for a while haha

yeah wd40, oil whatever, after the first crank there should be sufficient oil everywhere. wish i could store the motor upside down or something then flip it over when im ready to use it again lol
