I've got a Titan XC35 and using it as a FD for the wife. It hasn't been ridden for a month or so. Decided to take a ride but the pull start would not move like it was frozen. Took the rope pull cover off and sure enough the engine would not turn in the right direction but it would turn in the opposite direction freely. Checked the oil level and it was normal. I then took a screw driver and inserted in one of the rope pull rotor holes and managed to get the engine to turn freely. I re-installed the rope pull cover and tried to start the engine. After several pulls I heard a hissing sound and saw oil coming out of the carbuerator. Is the engine fried?
