bought this 45 A the other day. It was a non runner. I was able then to turn it over pretty good. Been going thru it to get it running and was ok. Had it running several times for about 15-20 seconds at a time. At some point it started getting real real hard to crank over so yesterday I drained the oil and pulled the filter. A lot of water came out with the oil and I said oh cr*p. right now I can rock it over about a 1/4 of a turn and it gets impossible to turn. Also there felt like there was a lot of sludge in the crankcase so I dumped in about 1 1/2 gallons of diesel to help wash it out. Getting ready to pull off that top crankcase cover to have a looksee in there. What do you think has happened since it did crank ok at the beginning?
Any help/advice would be appreciated
