However it did turn over correctly a few min. earlier, you could feel the compressions when puling the starter rope. Now you can not turn the engine at all with the starter rope and the plug out. Have mentioned this to someone and they said it could be that petrol / oil has leaked into the crankcase/sump below the piston and on the downward stroke the piston is trying to compress this which it can not do! What do you think?
