[QUOTE="AlanWesty, post: 633017, member: 23742"] I also bought a reconditioned engine. When I bought it, it ran fin and I was happy to take it. When I started it about a year later it fired right up and ran for about 2-3 minutes. The exhaust then started smoking, I think it was the new paint on it so I stopped the engine to start it again the following day. The following day I started it again and it ran about a minute before suddenly sounding strained an stopped abruptly. It was as though seized. I eventually stripped the engine down and found the culprit. The locating pin on the front (pulley side) bearing has turned and was now sitting diagonally in the elongated hole. This caused the bearing to be squashed to the extent that it felt seized. Not saying that that is the problem, but apparently this is a common issue. [/QUOTE]
