Dear readers
I,ve a VT49 it didn't run for over 20 year and the cranck doesn't turn.
I want to fill it with alcohol in the hope it will loosen up without dismanteling the engine.
Is this a good idea?
When I put it away 20 years ago I always used special conserve oil (thick) so that will probilaty cause the problem
Second question
I read the manual which says never close the ventline bottom of cranckcase but (engine did runs ok 20 years ago) there are 2 holes 1 closes to the prop has ventilation the other farrest from the prop is closed.
I used the engine horizontal so the open vent in front goes upwards and the closed vent side ways.
