I picked up a basically free YTM225 tonight. Turns out the engine is locked up...not sure where the lockup is but I can't turn the flywheel. It's also missing all the engine mounting bolts, on/off switch (on the handlebar), choke lever on the front panel, and the starter motor.
My first order of business is to get the engine off. Is there a particular order of events here? The Yamaha manual just says to pull it from the right side. Is there a connection in the shaft that I have to get loose? Once I get it loose where should I look first to "thaw" it out?
Also, is there a way I can seal the hole where the starter motor went if I can't find another one?
The chassis number is 29U 086707....what model does that correspond to?
Thanks, and any leads on these parts is appreciated.
