Remove spark plug(s) on the motor and the head of the compressor
if they are both stuck, generously apply Kroil or similar release
agent. *Allow to sit, then attempt turning the flywheel again.
Look into getting a long cheater pipe to use on the flywheel(s)
without bending or hurting it.

Another common method of getting the rings loose is Coca-cola.

I attempted to post this earlier but it has not appeared. *Hope
it
doesn't pop up twice.

I recently bought a military surplus 2 stage Curtis-Toledo
compressor
driven by about a 12HP B&S engine.

I cannot get the compressor to turn over by turning the
flywheel. *The
oil in the compressor and the engine is brand new. *I don't know
why
the military auctioned off the compressor.

I'm wondering if it got water in it or something. *How can I get
some
light weight oil into the cylinder? *If it's toast is a rebuild
a
major big $$$ undertaking?

Thanks,

Dan, I imagine the active ingredient in Coca Cola is phosphoric
acid? If you use Coke do you use sugar free? Seems like the 9 tsp of
shooga down inside there would be kinda gooey.
