Have you removed plug and have a look into cylinder that nothing been left in there. But they should of ran it after rebuild.

when you have removed the plug turn engine over if it turns over 360 degrees with out plug in ?  check that it is the correct plug for the machine ? they may have put the wrong spec plug in it , some one brought me a rtrimmer that was doing same thing ok short reach plug in it but slackend it off about 3 turns and engine turned over fully put a different plug in and it was fine,

Ah, didnt see your post saying you got it working, what was the issue causing it to lock up?

 

No idea! Came back to the bench to have another look at it and without doing anything could turn the flywheel no trouble.

A wise man once said to me problems that go away by themselves can come back by themselves.

I'd want to know why it locked if at all possible.

That's why it's going to Spud when he's got the time!

Turning it back wards against the starter mechanism/cord ? Was it a sharp stop or did it have a bit of sponginess to it ?
