    I would drop the lower unit and see if its the lower unit or powerhead thats siezed. You can also remove the recoil assembly to eliminate the possibility of it being the culprit.
    24:1 should not have let that motor sieze up. That motor can actually survive with 50:1, provided that it never gets hot
