Thanks for the help with the linkage! I managed to get the LU off, and I believe it is indeed the culprit. When rotating the drive shaft by hand it actually hung up a few times. I’m thinking it must be whatever bushing or the pinion as ‘bobw’ since the prob will still turn free in neutral even while the drive shaft is frozen.
On the plus side, it has a brand new impeller. Very soft and plyable. This motor also has brand new coils and points, so I’m guessing the PO had just done the water pump at the same time. Who knows, maybe this locking up problem is why the last guy gave up on it?
At any rate, I’ve decided to pull the LU from my other motor and just swap the whole unit. Thanks again everyone for the help!
