Is there water in the gearcase? Unfortunately, could be just about anything… I would wait until the next time it locks up, then remove the gearcase without freeing it up first. Removing the gearcase will at least tell you whether the powerhead or gearcase is locking up….. Any signs of water in the combustion chamber? You have the flywheel off, so that rules out something jamming up on the mag plate…
