It is like this , she is stuck either from condensation or she got water down the pipe . On and M there will be two pistons up at the top and two down as to what two are at the top of the stroke ?? don't know and when they stick like this it is a problem as it maybe a light stick and again it may be a heay stick . Old's atf and acetone is ok and PB blasters is so so but there ain't one of you that uses ZEP amd after 46 years of usen ZEP i aint going to change as (1) it is hard to get (2) it ain't cheap (3) there is NOTHING i have found better . NOW if it is a light stick like our old M did each and every year from setting in the shed under a 319 New Idea picker and only run for two to three weeks out of the year and since it was under a picker even getting to the plugs was a chore we would pull the plugs out spray about a 1/4 a can of ZEP into the holes leave the plugs out and hook a chain to it and drag it out of the shed and rehook the chain and drag it down the blacktop drive in fifth gear and lightly let the clutch out , if it had been a really damp year she would slide the back tires under the weight of the picker and a couple times of the letting the clutch out she would break free . we would leave it in fifth gear and drag it around a bit to blow out any ZEP then stick the plugs back in a light her and let it run and warm up a bit then change oil plugs points grease the picker and go pick corn. When they stick with two pistons at TDC and two at BDC HUSTON you got a problem and i do not care if you pull on the hand crank and a bar on the flywheel you are NOT GOING TO GET IT TO MOVE
