I just rebuilt the top end of my YT175, i had it running off and on(breaking it in). I replaced the rope on the pull start yesterday - rope ripped.
Today i went to pull start it and it locked up on me. I took the pull start off and tried to crank it by hand. It would not budge the way it should go, but I can rotate it backwards and then forwards all the way around.
Here is the story on the trike. I bought it in april for $200 and had it running. My friend ran it up and down some dirt roads for a few hours. The top end died later that day(massive scratch in jug).
I rebuilt the top end(bored over) this weekend. Warmed it up and let it cool down 4 times. Did not rev the engine during warm up.
