I Think My Engine Is Stuck!

Got my 80cc kit from Dax last week and was trial fitting the engine to the frame. I grabbed the sprocket and attempted to turn the engine. It appears to be stuck. I haven't put a wrench to it or anything yet. Anyone else have this happen? Any ideas?
Thanks, Tom

You are not going to be able to turn the sprocket by hand unless you use the clutch or remove the spark plug. Even then it might be too difficult, new engines will be a little tight until it runs for a little while and things get broken in.

Yeah, I got it. I think it was just really dry. i put some oil down the cylinder and got it going.
Thanks, Tom
