REFLECTOR: "Stuck" Franklin

[jeff findarle]

I just got my lycoming going after sitting for 5 years. If you figure out that stuck motor. You likely should also re-build the furl pump on the engine too.  My motor would shut down immediately when I shut off the boost pump. Things dry out in that motor driven fuel pump when sitting around.
Hope the motor frees up cheaply.



 
Thank you, Jeff

Rather, there is a definite stop point at 180 degree rotation in either direction.  Inspection of the cylinders reveal no piston contact with valves and no obvious blockage.  No new parts have been installed since it was last operated.
