More info on my new old motor. The Seafoam in the cylinders and a little back and forth on the flywheel nut and it is free, I can tell by rotating the crankshaft that one cylinder has low compression. The coils have something leaking from them, it’s a translucent amber color-dialectric maybe. The flywheel nut was extremely loose and the flywheel itself will rotate slightly maybe 3-5 degrees independent of the flywheel hub. I think I found the reason this motor was left in the basement 45 years ago. I’m going to need a new flywheel for sure.
