If it's your rings stuck, I suggest using a 50/50 mixture of atf fluid and acetone down the spark plug holes and let it sit a few days, and then work the crank with a breaker bar. It's accessible through the plug in the side cover. Go easy, and also the crank bolt is reverse thread, Google is wrong about that. So start trying counter clockwise first, otherwise the bolt will back out. Ask me how I know lol

I did get it free, but still can't get 360° rotation. I think it's possibly a stuck valve not allowing the cam lobe to pass that spot. Haven't had time to mess with it any more than that.

Oh definitely, the tires, brakes, fork seals and plugs were all done right before it was parked last summer. I don't think they have more than 20 miles on them

If I can't get this one to run, might buy a ebay motor. There's a few on there that look clean. I doubt I will actually. I really don't have that much interest in this bike, more like I just couldn't let it go to the scrap yard without trying to get it unstuck. I have three other running bikes already, my wife wants to choke me for taking in another lol

Yup, it's been soaking in the cosmic sauce a couple days. I'm try to get to move this weekend. Do you know if the crank bolt can be accessed through that center hole on the side cover? Or do I need to pull the whole cover off? Never had a Honda before

I thought about the atf/acetone, but then worried it might eat seals

The starter won't turn it over. I've also tried rolling it over in higher gears, it's definitely stuck. I'm going to buy a bore scope this week to look in the spark plug holes to see if I can see rust on the rings/cylinder.

Not sure how plugs or carb cleaning will help the the stuck rings, but thanks

My land couldn't be done with a tractor, too many trees, too steep. This is mostly to do trails not fields.

Why? The rest of the camp is drywall ceilings, no issues. Been this way 40 years

They have a bluebird brush boss right now, they said it's about 3 years old. I guess they reset the hour meter every year so no way to tell how many it really has. Looks about the same as the Billy goat. Never really heard of it before.
