Exactly my plan...no work...no drive. My Dad did it to me and I'm gonna do it to them. If they are too lazy to get her in shape then chances are they will be too lazy to keep her up. I'm not doing all the work for them to go out and drive it wrecklessly...no way...

That 2008 deadline is coming up quick wacky....think you can do it?
Don't worry...wacky is more harmful if you own an old skool. Otherwise, he just hops up on a tree branch and stares at your 7 like a damn vulture.

Would you ladies talk about your fish somewhere else? This section is focused on the 7! What're you trying to do, wacky, stop misleading!
*groan* Sorry, kymber, Wacky is getting senile in his old age because he won't stop huffing the fumes from his old skools' exhaust.

Good morning! And now back to the car discussion....lol I still can't get the motor to budge after many applications of MMO and 3 nights of sitting with it in there....~sigh~ Reckon the motor has to come out now? I actually used PB Blaster in the motor that was given to me many years ago. Haven't ran it yet to see if I damaged anything with that. I didn't know any better at the time. Several years later it still turns freely, though...hmmm....didn't know if I should try another type of penentrating oil in the stuck motor before I pull it or not. I can't purge out what is in there because it won't turn and I don't want any lethal mixtures in there...What do you think?

Maybe try ATF. Have you tried turning the engine both ways? Do you get even a bit of movement? I wouldn't worry too much about hurting the soft seals. If you can't get it free, you'll have to open her up and throw all new soft seals in it anyway. Wish you were closer. I'd be happy to give you a hand with it.

P.S. Nice fish you got there.

personally, i'd forget the pb blaster and penetrating lubes and the mmo, i think that you should try using atf in the engine. the detergents in the atf really help break down the carbon. sometimes it really takes a good pull with a breaker bar and a socket on the ecentric shaft. you'll want to squirt atf in the plug holes and pour a little down the carb. let it sit 24 hours and go out and try to work the engine back and forth using the breaker bar method. i had this happen once and i used a large and strong friend to "break" the engine loose from its carb on tomb. the engine ran fine afterwards.
were the brochure pics i posted helpful or were you wanting something additional or something with different info?

Can I put the ATF in while the MMO is in there? If it won't hurt anything than that is what I will do. I was afraid if we tried to force it that it would do more damage than necessary...

Won't be a problem. Put some down the carb and squirt some in the spark plug holes (turkey baster works good). Let it sit and try to move it. Try working the engine in both directions using the breaker bar and socket. You may get a little movement, but not totally free. If so, you may have to repeat the process until it turns freely.
