Carbon locked?
I think my 12a has got the Carbon lock only because it ran fine until I tried starting it when it was real cold out. It started and ran for a couple of seconds till my fuel pump crapped out then it stalled. I tried to restart right away to prevent this from happening, cranking it but after the 5th time it just locked. I poured about half a bottle of ATF in the intake ports and squirted some in the plug holes also but still no luck. I have a 3ft breaker bar on the pulley trying to turn it in both directions but nothing. Its been sitting with the ATF for 4 days now and to day I removed the header and all the ATF came out of the exhaust ports. What should I do? Any tips or should I start to pull the motor out because its now junk? Please help! By the way I was going to try the Power foam but Napa says that they dont carry Ams oil products?
Thanks, Ed

I read your email
Powerfoam is the way to go but not all NAPA's carry Amsoil products. Try contacting www.amsoil.com and ask them where the closest dealer is. Good luck!
