My parents gave me their old Honda FR500 tiller. It has been sitting idle for a few years and was seized up. After over a month soaking in kerosene, I gave it a try last night and got it loose. Am I correct in thinking that the rings are probably still stuck, and will soaking longer before starting it and burning off the kerosene help, or should I just try to get it started.
The engine is pretty worn out, but my garden is only about 6X16, so as long as I can get it started and get enough power to run it, I'll leave it alone. I bought a chinese 6.75 torque engine NIB at a garage sale last summer for $35 that I could put on it, but I'd like to keep it Honda if I can.
