Default O.S. .46fx Probs

Tried to start my 1 1/2 year old 46fx yesterday and while I was spinning the prop (I use a chicken stick) I felt some "bumps" or stiff spots in the turn-over. At first I thought maybe it was just flooded. Pulled the plug held upside down turned the prop - nothing came out - but worse than that, there was still resistance to turn over with the plug out! I knew that was bad so I left the field and opened it up as soon as I got home. The pics show what I found

If your engine's old enough, it may have been one from the earlier manufacturing process. Just send it to us for inspection/service.

Also, please do not make multiple posts here. If you need to send us pictures, send them directly to us in an email. Usually, though, it's virtually impossible to analyze a problem from pictures of the size and quality that can be posted here. Thanks,
