os max 4stroke carb froze up
Hello!
What do you meen by" Froze up"? Lots of castor oil build up or what?
Is it just old castor oil that has gummed then just varm the carb with a heatgun and at the same time move the throttle drum or oil it in with WD-40 or any other oil( but not castor oil)
Regards!

Don't use WD-40 it attracts moisture. If you have an old crock pot get some Prestone anti-freeze not the Bio-degradeable stuff and submerge you engine in it. Set the heat setting to Low and let it cook for about 6-8hrs with the plug out. Take it out rinse it down and pour some Marvel mystery Oil in the exhaust and through the intake. Lube it up real good. Tilting the engine back an forth to get the oil into the bearings and the added feature of cleaning your motor. Don't force the carb it, should free up just fine now.
After your totally clean and lubed, open the throttle to Wide open hook up a Small tank of fuel using a Powerstarter spin the engine until the fuel gets through the engine completely.
Put a little more Marvel mystery oil in in and your ready to store it or fly it whatever you deem appropriate.
Caution do not re-use this crockpot for family dinners again as well keep this away from children and pets, use in a well ventilated area.
