I made an impulse buy on a facebook Buy-Sell-Trade page yesterday. This 128LD trimmer was listed as "Locked up-Good for Parts $40". Someone had offered $20 and it was excepted but the add stayed up. Yesterday I went and got it for $20. I got home and sprayed a bunch of penetrating oil in the cylinder and let it set over night. This morning I removed the starter, put a socket on the bolt and started applying pressure back and forth. It moved a little bit at a time until I got it to move all the way through easily. I sprayed more oil in the cylinder and with the plug out ran it a few seconds with a cordless drill and socket. The exhuast port is pretty small but I don't see any scoring. The guy said he was using it when it stopped. It has what looks like green premix in the tank. The trigger is not working so I need to fix that before I can try to crank it. I'm curious about what caused it to seize.
