Seized Piston

[MattyQ]

Hi , thought I properly stored my 6B engine , apparently not. Messed up and pushed down on the kick starter by hand , didn't sound good.  I think it's now locked up! I am not knowledgeable about pistons and cylinders, just how to break them .  Is there a standard size for the hex nut on the cylinder? I do not think I have one that size . thanks , Matt

Matt,  10mm hex key.  If engine is out of bike access is not a problem.  If engine is in bike, you will need a short extension to clear the fins but not bind up under the frame tubes.  I use a 2 inch long "wobble" extension.  I'm in Chattanooga.  If you can afford fuel, load'er up and come for a visit. I'm good at taking things apart
