    uh oh, was there the right amount of oil mixed with the gas? If it's liquid cooled was there enough coolant in there, will it move now after it's all cooled down. Kinda sounds seized to me.

    well i've heard of oil injectors failing quite often, so that would be a good bet into what happenen. Have you tried turning it over since it's cooled?

    Sounds like it is seized. If you want to be sure you might try to yank off the mag cover and see if you can turn the engine from there. That would let you know if it was in the engine or tranny. It really sounds like engine probs though.

    The left side cover is used to seal the magneto from the weather. In the center of the magneto there is a nut. You can put a socket and ratchet on the nut to see of you can turn the engine from there. Don't put out so much that you twist off the crank though. If it is not seized it should turn over quit easy. If you can turn it then you know you have a tranny or kick start problem. If you cant turn it, it is in the engine. You might try to put a little WD-40 down the spark plug hole and work it back and forth from the mag side. Most of the time when they cool down they free up anyway.

    take off the flywheel cover, and try to turn the flywheel. but if the engine is indeed seized, depending on severity of it, you'll probably need a bore job, piston, rings... possible crank, and rod bearings. basically a top-end overhaul.
