So new user to the forum here.. never owned nor even ridden a snowmobile but the house we bought recently came with one, lol.
In one of the sheds is this Yamaha, I believe a 1983 model. Anyway seems to have been under a cover for enough years that there was a decent amount of dust on it. The rear ends been propped up on an old propane cylinder. I cannot give the pull cord a go, and neither does the flywheel (or snowmobile flywheel equivalent) turn.
About 2 weeks ago I pulled both plugged and poured a small amount of Marvel Mystery oil into the cylinders.
I really have no use for a SMB so I'm thinking of selling it. Obviously I can get more if teh engine turns over than not so I'm looking for advice.
So I grab a pipe wrench and try coaxing it to turn over or are there any SMB engine hints that might help without resorting to physical brawn with a mechanical advantage?
I really don;t want to tear it up and honestly if I could get it running that'd be a blast but.. I need a few things more.. wood splitter, 4-wheeler, trailer, shed roof, etc.
I'm fairly mechanically inclined.. rebuilt a few small engines, torn down the intake on a car once. So if some work is involved I won't shy away from it.
Thanks
